Argentina forward Lautaro Martinez confirmed on Wednesday that he is close to joining Italian Serie A club Inter Milan. The 20-year-old has caught the attention of European clubs by scoring 11 goals in 10 matches across all competitions for Argentina's Racing Club this year, reports Xinhua news agency. He was rewarded for his prolific form by earning his first call-up to Argentina's national squad for international friendlies against Italy on Friday and Spain next Tuesday.
