Arsenal make bold move for Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez as they 'enquire about him during Hector Bellerin negotiations' – and the striker 'WOULD be interested in joining but any deal is dependent on Alexandre Lacazette being sold'

Arsenal are interested in a move for Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez as manager Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his attacking options.As reported by The Athletic, Arsenal are exploring a possible deal for Martinez, who scored 17 goals in 38 Serie A appearances for Inter last season.The report states that Arsenal have asked about Martinez’s availability during negotiations over a deal that could see Gunners right-back Hector Bellerin move to Italy and that the Argentine star would be open to making the move.A deal for Martinez is likely to be dependent on the departure of Alexandre Lacazette, who is said to have been mentioned to Inter, though the Italian side’s preference would be a straight up cash offer.If Martinez was to depart this summer then his salary would increase significantly, with the Argentina international currently earning around £2.13 million (€2.5 million per year).
