Incoming Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly very interested in signing Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez to spearhead the club's attack next summer.
Mauricio Pochettino's confirmation as Chelsea boss is set to happen in the coming days and the Argentine tactician is believed to be an admirer of his compatriot Lautaro Martinez.
Blues to move for Martinez
Chelsea have been widely linked with moves for the likes of Tottenham striker Harry Kane and Napoli hitman Victor Osimhen but a move for Martinez seems more likely considering the potential fee and Inter's willingness to do business.
According to Football Insider, Chelsea will be required to pay around £70m for his services and could push ahead with any deal, irrespective of the future of the returning Romelu Lukaku.
