North London giants Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur will reportedly battle it out for the services of AS Roma defender Kostas Manolas.

The 24-year-old has impressed for the Giallorossi since his move from Olympiakos in 2014.

Manolas had been on the radar of the Gunners over the summer, and The Mirror now cites that Spurs will go head to head with their local rivals in the pursuit of the Greek international in January.

Manolas' current deal expires in the summer of 2019.
