Arsenal and Real Madrid are reported to be interested in signing Argentinean striker Lautaro Martinez.

The 19 year-old is currently plying his trade at Racing de Avellaneda with him contracted at the club contract until 2020.

However, despite making 14 appearances with the club, Martinez is still looking for his first senior goal.

Reports in Spain and England have linked the hot prospect with moves to either Real Madrid or Arsenal and in an interview with Ole, the president of Racing de Avellaneda revealed the player's release clause:

"It's true, there are many clubs interested in him", Victor Blanco said.

"He [Lautaro Martinez], however, will only leave for release clause which is set to € 9 million."

Valencia are also said to be keeping an eye on the youngster.

Elsewhere, Real Madrid host Espanyol in La Liga on Saturday, with the league leaders unsurprisingly heavy favourites at 2/11.

Espanyol are a massive 16/1 to cause an upset, whilst a draw is 7/1.
