Arsenal could be handed a brutal blow in their bid to land Lautaro Martinez as Chelsea chase Romelu Lukaku.

What’s the story?

Only yesterday Arsenal were handed a boost in their pursuit of Martinez. The Telegraph claimed Inter Milan want to sell Martinez rather than the Belgium international.

However, the latest news flips that deal on it’s head as the Blues look to beat their rivals off-the-pitch as well.

According to the latest reports, the Belgian striker is open to moving to Stamford Bridge this summer. However, the ace is demanding £250k-per-week to make the return to London.

With Chelsea making progress in their chase for their ex-player, Arsenal need to get moving.

Chelsea and Lukaku news hands Arsenal blow in pursuit of Martinez

It seems time is against the Gunners.

Chelsea and Lukaku are handing Arsenal a major blow in their pursuit of Martinez this summer.

A deal for the six-foot-three ace seems to be moving at lightning pace. And with Fabrizio Romano claiming the Blues are readying a £130m offer, Mikel Arteta is running out of time.

The north Londoners need to ensure they can sign Martinez, or they will be left with minimal choices in the transfer market.

The Argentine proves a fantastic option to replace Alexandre Lacazette, whose finishing is inconsistent.

19 goals, 11 assists and a league title is all you need to know about the 23-year-old’s campaign last season. He was on fire and with the right players around him, can be lethal.
