Tuchel comments on Zouma's Chelsea future amid West Ham links
Inter Milan's transfer stance could benefit Arsenal but throw a spanner in the works for Chelsea and their pursuit of Romelu Lukaku, according to reports. Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez are both linked to Premier League moves, but Inter only need to sanction one more major departure this summer.

Chelsea have reportedly already failed with an offer for Lukaku this summer in the form of £85.2m (€100m) plus Marcos Alonso.

Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland was said to be Chelsea's priority target, but the Bundesliga giants successfully priced them out of a move.

If Arsenal's interest in Martinez is serious, they have a prime opportunity to secure a double whammy over their city rivals.
Not only would they secure a genuinely top-class forward, but they would deny Chelsea the chance to sign Lukaku, per The Telegraph's report.
The Gunners will have to act quick, though, given Chelsea are ready to put their money where their mouth is and table a bid for Lukaku that Inter may not be able to turn down.
If the 28-year-old joins Chelsea soon, Massimiliano Allegri won't stand for losing both of his star attackers, and Inter will likely shut up shop.
