Reported Tottenham Hotspur target Lisandro Martinez wants to join Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in the summer transfer window, according to The Athletic.
The Athletic have reported that Arsenal are keen on signing Martinez from Ajax this summer.
The Gunners have reportedly had an opening bid for the 24-year-old centre-back turned down.
The Athletic have reported that Martinez, who is a central defender by trade but can also play at left-back, is ‘keen on joining’ on joining the Gunners.
90min have reported interest from Tottenham in Martinez.
Tottenham Hotspur or Arsenal for Lisandro Martinez?
In our view, if Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing Lisandro Martinez in the summer transfer window, then they have to make a better bid than Arsenal.
Arsenal have reportedly made a second offer of £30 million, which means that Spurs would have to bid more for Martinez.
Now, the Argentina international may be keen on a move to Arsenal, but if Conte intervenes and showcases his plan for the left-sided centre-back, then Tottenham could be able to convince him to switch to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium instead.
Tottenham will play in the Champions League next season, and with a world-class manager such as Conte in charge, the North London club could compete for the Premier League title in the coming yers.
