Gianluca Di Marzio has dropped an update on Tottenham Hotspur's reported interest in a move for Lautaro Martinez.

What's the talk?

In recent comments cited by FcInter1908 (via Sport Witness), the Sky Sports Italia journalist revealed that, following earlier reports suggesting that Antonio Conte has made the Inter Milan centre-forward one of his priority targets in the summer transfer window, there is a very good chance Fabio Paratici does make another move for the 24-year-old at the end of the current campaign.

Speaking about Spurs' interest in the Argentina international, Di Marzio said: "Who will Tottenham go to if they qualify for the Champions League? Surely Antonio Conte wants another striker.

"We know that, even before he arrived in London, Fabio Paratici had tried to take Lautaro Martinez, but then Inter sold Lukaku and could not sell both.

"I expect a possible Tottenham offensive for him. Then it is true that he has renewed, but it is possible that Tottenham could present themselves again and we'll see what kind of offer they might present."

Spurs supporters will love Di Marzio's update

With backup and competition for Harry Kane having been something of an issue for Tottenham in recent years, with the club's last permanent signing of a centre-forward being Fernando Llorente back in August 2017 - who subsequently left Spurs for Napoli just two years later - the suggestion that Paratici could pursue a deal for Martinez this summer is sure to be an update the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium faithful will love.

Indeed, the thought of the £63m-rated Argentine and Kane linking up in a front two in north London is an incredibly exciting one - not to mention being a duo that would somewhat replicate Conte's devastating attacking two during Inter's Scudetto-winning campaign under the 52-year-old.

Last season, in the Italian manager's preferred 3-5-2 formation, Romelu Lukaku and Martinez scored 41 goals and registered 17 assists between them in the league, with Lukaku averaging an incredibly impressive SofaScore match rating of 7.32 and Martinez averaging a 7.17 rating - ranking the duo as Conte's first and third-best performers in Serie A respectively.

As such, it is clear for all to see that the prospect of Kane - who himself has scored 12 goals, provided six assists and averaged a SofaScore match rating of 7.29 in the Premier League this season - taking the place of Lukaku in this tandem will be a thought that terrifies defenders up and down the country.

And, with it being reported that Inter will be willing to listen to offers beginning at €70m (£59m) for the €125k-per-week (£105k-per-week) striker this summer, a deal for Martinez is one that Daniel Levy could very much afford to sanction.
