Chelsea have been linked with a sensational move for Argentina striker Lautaro Martinez, but a section of fans do not believe he would be a good signing.
Martinez, 25, will be offered by Inter Milan for a fee of £70m this summer.
The World Cup winner is favored by Mauricio Pochettino, who will take over as Chelsea manager this summer.

With Inter set to offload a number of players to free up money, it is highly likely that Martinez will be among those leaving the San Siro, and FootballInsider reports that Chelsea are well suited to sign him.
This comes despite the fact that the Blues have a loaner, Romelu Lukaku, who is currently at Inter and plays alongside Martinez.
According to Transfermkt, Manchester United are also said to be interested in the striker who has scored 19 goals and provided five assists in Serie A this season.
In all competitions this campaign, the Argentinian has scored 23 goals in 48 appearances.
Fans split over Martinez transfer
On social networks, fans have different reactions to the Lautaro Martinez-Chelsea relationship. Here are some comments:
“Pontsho Masome says:
“Pochettino needs a break from shopping. He has to build the squad and get the most out of the players he has."
While @Teewonder added:
@Jamescole said:
“This guy almost made Argentina lose the World Cup, he was terrible; we already bought nkunku, we don't need him anymore"
@Jodo97 said:
"For me, he would be the 3rd target, after Oshimen and Toney. Obviously we won't be able to get Oshimen. I think we should just accept Toney's ban and get him."
