Already both somewhat interested in Houssem Aouar, both Arsenal and Tottenham could end up fighting over another Ligue 1 midfielder.
That man is Yacine Adli, with Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna tweeting the news on Monday.
The Gunners and Spurs are said to have ‘made contact’ regarding a potential transfer, although with whom isn’t really mentioned.
They will face competition, however, as Milan have already made the first move, offering €12m + 10% of a future sale, but Bordeaux, where the player is currently under contract, are ‘asking for more money’.

Talks between the Serie A side and their Ligue 1 counterpart are ‘still ongoing’, meaning something improved could be put forward shortly.
As for Arsenal and Tottenham, it’s stated ‘an offer is to be made shortly’, and it will be interested to see if it’s one of the two, or both, who open their wallet.
Further down the pecking order, it appears that Lille are also interested, but their attempts don’t seem to have been as urgent as the other three’s.
