"Massively exciting" - Journalist teases big-money Spurs move for "spectacular" £58m star

Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez would be a “massively exciting” signing for Tottenham, claims Daily Star journalist Paul Brown.

The Argentine was a reported target for the north London club last summer and is still thought to be on their shortlist.

Martinez is having another strong season, with the Argentina international recently reaching the 15-goal landmark in Serie A after registering against Spezia last week.
