Arteta reveals White's Arsenal move was long time in making
Inter Milan have told Arsenal that they aren't interested in a part-exchange for Lautaro Martinez this summer. The Gunners are eyeing a new forward but will have to match Inter's hefty fee demands to sign Martinez this month.

If Arsenal were to offload a few first-team stars and meet Inter's demands, Martinez could become the club's record signing.
Pepe joined from Lille in a £72m deal in 2019, but potential add-ons could push Martinez's fee over that total.
After already splashing £50m on Brighton defender Ben White this summer, though, Arteta will have to sanction sales before making another marquee signing.
Even with Xhaka set to stay, there are plenty of valuable assets Arteta can afford to let go to fund a move for Martinez.
