Arsenal ‘tell Lautaro they will offer £275,000-a-week deal’
Arsenal are reportedly prepared to offer Lautaro Martinez a lucrative contract in their quest to beat Tottenham to the Inter Milan striker’s signature.
The Gunners are in the market for a new centre-forward with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette failing to impress in pre-season.
And it has been claimed that Mikel Arteta’s side have made an enquiry to Inter regarding Martinez’s availability.
Meanwhile it has been speculated that rivals Spurs have already agreed a £60million deal with the Italian club to bring the 23-year-old to North London.
But according to Eurosport, Arsenal are prepared to offer Martinez a bumper deal in their attempt to persuade him to make the move to the Emirates.
They state that Arsenal are very keen to sign the player, though they are yet to turn their interest into a formal bid.

However personal terms have been discussed, with the club ready to offer him £275,000-a-week.
But both Arsenal and Spurs could be left disappointed in their pursuit of Martinez, with his agent Alejandro Camano recently ruling out a move away.
He told FCInter1908: “Lautaro is an Inter player and is happy in Italy. The renewal?
“Lautaro is from Inter, he will never enter into conflict with the club. Never, this is reality.
