Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are ready to go head-to-head in the race to sign one of the top soon-to-be free agents.
Arsenal are keen to bolster their attacking options with a striker and winger being targeted by their new sporting director, Andrea Berta.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur are also eyeing options for their forward areas and have identified the same players as the Gunners as one of their top targets.
The Lilywhites have not just entered the race to sign the player, but they are now leading the pursuit due to their willingness to offer the most lucrative package.
Tottenham ready to offer Leroy Sane better deal than Arsenal
Tottenham are now in pole position to sign Bayern Munich forward Leroy Sane on a free transfer, according to Sky Sport.
Arsenal have made Pini Zahavi, Sane’s agent, aware of their interest in his player, however, Sane’s agent has been able to negotiate a significantly higher financial package with their North London rivals.
Spurs are now looking to make an impressive signing following their Champions League qualification and are working hard to sign the 29-year-old as a free agent. The German international’s contract with Bayern expires at the end of the month.
It now seems increasingly likely that Sane will sign for Tottenham with the North London club offering him a contract which runs until 2029.
Bayern Munich also remain in the running to keep hold of the winger and have not yet given up hope of renewing his contract, but at this stage, he is close to joining the Premier League club.
Crucially, Tottenham are also offering him a guaranteed starting spot at right wing, which is something Bayern and Arsenal are somewhat unlikely to be able to do.
Where could Leroy Sane fit in at Tottenham?
Sane could be a very interesting option for Tottenham as the winger showed great versatility at Bayern last season.
The former Man City forward made 20 appearances playing left wing and also played 25 times on the right side of Bayern’s attack.
