Arsenal tried to sign Lautaro Martinez

Arsenal made an attempt to sign Inter striker Lautaro Martinez before the summer transfer window closed.

According to the Daily Mail, the Gunners were eyeing the Argentine forward as a potential attacking reinforcement in the final days of the transfer period.

Reports indicate that Mikel Arteta's assistant, Gabriel Heinze, reached out to his compatriot regarding a possible move to Arsenal.

However, Inter had no intention of parting ways with their key striker. Martinez has three years remaining on his contract with the Milan club, meaning the Nerazzurri were not keen on letting him go.
