North London duo lead Cleverley chase

North London giants Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are apparently leading the pursuit to sign out-of-favour Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley this summer.

The England international is plying his trade at Aston Villa on loan for the season.

Villa boss Tim Sherwood is believed to be keen on signing the midfielder on a permanent basis, but Sky Sports claims that the Gunners and Spurs are looking to sign up Cleverley in the off-season.

Cleverley will be a free-agent once his contract at United expires in the summer.
