Barrada in demand
First up and talkSPORT claim Arsenal and Tottenham are interested in signing Getafe midfielder Abdelaziz Barrada, but the duo will have to fight off interest from Lokomotiv Moscow.
The report suggests several Premier League sides have been monitoring the Moroccan ace following some eye-catching display’s in La Liga, but the north Londoners are understood to hold the most serious interest.
Lokomotiv Moscow are also now keeping an eye on the 23-year-old but talkSPORT claim the talented midfielder – who has a £17m buy-out clause – is unlikely to pursue a move to the Russian outfit as they will be unable to offer him the Champions League football he craves.
Arsenal and Spurs are locked in a battle to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League this season and it appears whoever manages to land a place in next seasons Champions League will be considered the front-runners for Barrada’s signature.
Interest mounts in £20m Pjanic
Next up and the Sun are reporting that Arsenal and Tottenham have joined Manchester City in showing an interest in Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic.
Pjanic has emerged as one of Europe’s hottest talents since joining the Serie A outfit from Lyon in 2011, with the 23-year-old attacking midfielder scoring 7 goals and providing 17 assists in his 58 appearances for the Italians so far.
The Sun claim the Bosnian international is now on Arsenal and Tottenham’s radar but the duo will have to part with around £20m if they want to try and lure him to north London this summer.
