Mikel Arteta told how much Arsenal's own Fernandinho costs as Edu prepares second transfer bid

Ajax have reportedly told Arsenal how to complete the signing of Lisandro Martinez this summer, with the Gunners said to have had an opening bid rejected. The 24-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium lately and he's been touted as Mikel Arteta's top priority.

According to The Athletic, the north London outfit have enquired about the Argentina international's availability this summer. Martinez, who sees his contract at The Johan Cruyff Arena expire in 2025, is said to be keen to pen a deal at the Emirates Stadium.

However, reports claim that the Dutch giants have already rejected a €30million (£25.8m) bid from Edu. The Gunners will reportedly persevere in their efforts to sign the Argentine amid competition from Manchester United, spearheaded by former boss Erik ten Hag.
