Lautaro Martínez - Wikipedia
After initially playing as a central defender in his youth, Martínez later established himself as a forward, citing Radamel Falcao as one of his major influences. A dynamic, quick, agile, and technically gifted player, who is a prolific goalscorer, he is known for his elegant playing style, good dribbling skills, and clinical finishing ability, as well as surprising physical strength and aerial prowess despite his diminutive stature.
Possessing good link-up play, defensive contribution, and an ability to drop deep off the ball to either press opponents or drag them out of position, he is also a highly creative and hard-working player, who is capable of assisting goals as well as scoring them himself.
As such, he is also able to play as a second striker, in addition to his usual role as either a centre-forward or out–and–out striker.
Due to his leadership, tenacity, and mentality on the pitch, he has been nicknamed El Toro ("The Bull," in Spanish).
Hernán Crespo likened Martínez to compatriot Sergio Agüero in 2020.

He signed a new deal last year until 2026 if I remember correctly.Lautaro Martínez - Wikipedia

Contract expires 2023.
Has Martinez ever played as a single striker?
Doesn’t he normally play with Dzeko ( previously Lukaku and Icardi).

Martinez doesn't make a ton of sense to me. He's a second striker not a solo up top guy. We've got alot of guys already who can play that way and can also play as a winger.
I've never been one to think a backup ST is a major need. Kane when fit is going to play all the time. No one will be happy or even look good when only getting to play 20 minutes here and there. We need guys who can play with and in replacement of Kane. I don't think Martinez is the latter. And while he could be the former, it's probably in replacement of Son...which seems like a luxury to me. I actually wouldn't mind seeing us go the big physical veteran route because hold-up play is the major thing we miss when Kane is out.

You'd think a mainstream journalist would know that he's owned by M'boro (not Forest).
Which has had the wheels removed!
Another one going abroad early.

He does say he's on loan at forest?
Bottom of the tweet implies otherwise by calling him a Forest player..... In this context parent club is the fundamental I'd have said.

OL.fr - Olympique Lyonnais

Olympique Lyonnais announces the arrival, through June 30, of the Brazilian right winger Tetê, from Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine), in accordance with the system recently put in place by FIFA and validated by UEFA, allowing players in the Ukrainian league, halted by the war, to join another club freely.
Has anyone seen him play...?
He's 22 years old and while I am all for a bargain buy I am a bit concerned if his going price is "only " £2m.
Besides, McNally must have noticed how few games Rodon have gotten at Spurs...
