Lyon defender Joachim Andersen is reportedly keen to remain in the Premier League amid links with Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.

Tottenham Hotspur-linked defender Joachim Andersen is reportedly keen to remain in the Premier League next season.

The Denmark international was unable to save Fulham from relegation to the Championship, but he has made a positive impression in English football under Scott Parker.

Lyon are understood to be open to a sale should they receive a suitable offer, with Tottenham and Arsenal both thought to be eyeing a swoop for Andersen.

Now, the Evening Standard claims that Andersen is keen to seal a permanent move to a club in England's top flight this summer, with Spurs in particular hoping to bolster their defence.

The report adds that Lyon value the 24-year-old at £20m, while Arsenal could move for him as they eye replacements for David Luiz, who is supposedly set to leave the Emirates when his deal expires in the summer.

Andersen has featured from the first whistle on 29 occasions in the Premier League this summer, while he has scored two goals in 35 appearances for parent club Lyon.
