Tottenham can spoil Arsenal's Lisandro Martinez move by playing transfer trump card

Arsenal are reportedly prioritising a move for Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez after having an opening bid of £25million rejected.

According to The Athletic, Arsenal's defensive priority for this summer is Martinez due to the 24-year-old's ability to play at centre-back and left back. Martinez is reportedly keen on a move to the Emirates Stadium, and the Eredivisie champions are rumoured to have rejected a bid in the region of £25million.

Despite the Gunners' opening offer being turned down by the Dutch outfit, Arsenal are expected to return with an improved bid as they look to seal a fourth signing of the summer. Although there have been whispers of interest from Manchester United, there's been some speculation about a possible move to the Gunners' north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
