Chelsea is actively pursuing a marquee strιker, and the latest name linked to the London team is Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez. The Blues are reportedly prepared to spend £86M to secure the services of the World Cup champion this month.

According to SportsLens journalist Dean Jones, Martinez is Chelsea’s number one target, and the Argentine forward is reportedly enthusiastic about the prospect of a move to the Premier League. It is suggested that a price range of £80 to £100M could convince Inter to part ways with the prolific striker. Previous attempts by Arsenal and Tottenham to secure Martinez were unsuccessful.

The Serie A’s current top scorer, Martinez has netted 16 goals in 17 appearances this season and provided an additional 4 assists. Known for his comprehensive attacking skills, the Argentinian star excels in both goal-scoring and playmaking, making him a valuable addition to Chelsea’s offensive lineup, which has struggled to capitalize on numerous opportunities.”
