Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur 'to battle for Marcel Sabitzer'

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur could reportedly battle for the signature of RB Leipzig attacker Marcel Sabitzer during this summer's transfer window.

The 25-year-old has been in impressive form for his Bundesliga club during the 2019-20 campaign, scoring 15 times and providing eight assists in 35 appearances in all competitions.

The Austria international starred against Spurs in the second leg of their last-16 Champions League clash, meanwhile, scoring a double as Leipzig recorded a 3-0 win on the night to secure a 4-0 aggregate success.

According to Calciomercato, Jose Mourinho is now keen to bring the attacker to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but Arsenal will also be in the hunt for his signature at the end of the season.

Sabitzer, who has captained Leipzig in their last eight Bundesliga matches, has a contract at the Red Bull Arena until the summer of 2022.

Arsenal are currently eight points off the top four in the Premier League table, while Spurs sit seven behind fourth-placed Chelsea entering the final stages of the campaign.
