William Hill: Chelsea are keeping an eye on Lautaro, who is a good alternative to Kai Havertz and has excellent stats.
A lack of quality and a late goal has become synonymous with a bad season for Chelsea. The Blues have scored just 38 goals in Premier League games this season, a frustrating reflection of the club's poor forward performance.
Kai Havertz has often been entrusted with the heavy lifting of the leadership, and he is the top scorer with a measly less than 10 goals. Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the German is willing to leave west London to try a new experience after Real Madrid showed interest in him last week.
When Kai Havertz scored the winner in the 2021 Champions League final to end a difficult debut season in England, he was expected to play well at Stamford Bridge and show ruthless consistency.
However, it all fell into a vicious circle of disappointment, and it looks set that he will be leaving this summer. Inter's Lautaro is considered part of Pochettino's revolution and he has been more calm and effective throughout the year.
What's the latest news on Lautaro's move to Chelsea? Fabrizio Romano has previously said that the Argentine's move to the English capital could be discussed later this month when the club talks over Romelu Lukaku's situation.
He said: "At the moment I don't know anything about Martinez, but let's see what happens in the talks between Inter and the Blues over Romelu Lukaku this month. 'But at the moment, Martinez and Chelsea have not reached a concrete agreement. It was previously reported that he could be worth around £70 million.
Why is Lautaro a potential good signing for Chelsea? The high-performing striker has been in fine form for the Nerazzurri this season, scoring a lot of goals in dozens of games in all competitions. Frankly, these numbers are the only things Havertz can only dream of wearing a Chelsea shirt.
As the debate over the former Bayer Leverkusen phenom's best position intensifies, it's clear that opportunities won't always fall on him, and with each passing week, he seems to look more frustrated and apathetic.
Earlier this season, Leboeuf described the player as "frustrating" and after three full seasons at Chelsea, he has yet to convince anyone that he can perform consistently.
Meanwhile, in northern Italy, Martinez is arguably Inter's most important player, a devastating outlet that can score goals and connect matches. FBREF figures show that he ranks in the top 13 per cent of shots per 90 minutes and the top 9 per cent of non-penalty goals per 90 minutes in Europe's top five leagues.
The international star, who has made dozens of appearances, won the World Cup in Qatar and Messi praised his compatriot, saying: "He's amazing. He has impressive qualities. You can tell he's going to be a great player and he's proving that. He's very strong, he's really good one-on-one, he's scored a lot of goals, in the box he can play against anybody, he can grab the ball, he can turn around and win everything on his own. He is very complete.
If Chelsea can pull off this peculiar feat, they will be an even more dangerous team next year. It is reported that Pochettino himself is a fan of this player, of course, now Inter's thoughts on this deal have not been decided, and whether they are willing to ** this player is also a huge doubt.
