Tottenham tipped to reach ‘different level’ after ‘amazing’ Lautaro Martinez report – Robinson
Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martinez would take Tottenham to the next level, according to Paul Robinson.
The former White Hart Lane number one, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, lauded the “amazing“ 24-year-old who enjoyed great success with Antonio Conte at the San Siro.
According to Calciomercato, via The Spurs Web (6 April), Conte has told Fabio Paratici to pursue a move for Martinez ahead of the summer.
It is reported that Spurs would have to pay in the region of £66million to sign the Argetina international.
Martinez has just over four years remaining on his contract with Inter Milan.
However, Robinson suggested Martinez could be signed as a replacement for Manchester United target Harry Kane.
“I think he would take Spurs to a different level,” he told Football Insider‘s Dylan Childs. “He’s an amazing player.
“Spurs have a great front three but they cannot play every week. Jurgen Klopp has found that out with his front three. He has five players in rotation for those positions.
“As well as Spurs’ front three are doing at the moment they cannot play every game. It is a squad game now more than ever.
“When you talk about Martinez coming in we are assuming that Kane will still be there but I’m not sure he will. His aspirations will not have changed. He has a good relationship with Conte but he will want to win titles.”
