Arsenal’s cut-price quote for Lautaro Martinez will certainly provide an incentive for Edu to pursue a deal. The Gunners are set for a major shortage in this position and will likely need to sign two forwards in the summer.
According to Italian news outlet Calciomercato, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid will battle it out to sign Martinez in the summer. Inter currently value him at £58m.
This is a major decrease from the £70m that was being quoted for him in the summer transfer window, where the Gunners failed to agree to a deal for the Argentine striker. However, the £58m price that is being quoted for him means that Edu will have space to also pursue another striker alongside Martinez.
