Jamie O’Hara has said on Sky Sports News (11:42am, August 2, 2021) that he would love to see Lautaro Martinez replace Harry Kane at Tottenham Hotspur.
What’s the story?
As reported by The Telegraph, Kane did not report for pre-season training at Tottenham yesterday.
The striker reportedly wants to leave Spurs, with Manchester City keen on signing the England international.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy simply does not want to sell the 28-year-old.
Premier League champions City are ready to pay £120 million for Kane, according to The Daily Star.
Lautaro Martinez interest
The Athletic reported at the weekend that Tottenham are interested in Inter Milan striker Martinez.
Arsenal are also keen and have actually enquired about the 23-year-old Argentina international.
Spurs see the 2021 Copa America winner as a contingency option should Kane leave.
What Jamie O’Hara says
Former Tottenham midfielder O’Hara has said that if Kane leaves, then he would love to see the North London club sign Martinez.
O’Hara said on Sky Sports News (11:42am, August 2, 2021): “Players like Martinez at Inter Milan, maybe looking to offload, I would love to see him there.”
Lautaro Martinez to Tottenham Hotspur?
If Tottenham sell Kane, then they will have a lot of money to spend.
And Spurs will then need to spend on a new striker.
Of course, Inter are a massive club and won Serie A last season, but money talks.
Martinez is a very good striker and is only 23, which means that he will get better in the coming years.
The Inter no.10 scored 17 goals and gave six assists in Serie A last season, and found the back of the net 14 times and provided three assists in the league in 2019-20.
