Arsenal and Spurs battling it out for Serie A striker

Tottenham Hotspur will hope to build on last weekend’s victory against Manchester United when they face Ipswich Town on Saturday. 

The Lilywhites followed up a 2-0 win against Brentford with a 1-0 win over the Red Devils on Sunday, and manager Ange Postecoglou will be desperate to see his side continue that run of form when they travel to Portman Road.

Spurs lost to the Tractor Boys earlier this season, though, and Kieran McKenna’s side will undoubtedly provide a stern test for the North London outfit when they arrive in East Anglia.

Away from the action, it appears that Tottenham could be set to battle it out with their fiercest rivals for the signing of a former Premier League striker.

As per CaughtOffside, both Spurs and Arsenal are keeping tabs on Fiorentina forward Moise Kean, 24.

The Italy international is enjoying a fine campaign in Tuscany, having joined Fiorentina from fellow Serie A side Juventus last summer.

Kean previously spent time with both Juventus and Everton

The striker has so far scored 15 times in 23 Italian top flight games, putting him second in the goal scoring charts.

It is claimed that, as well as North London rivals Tottenham and Arsenal, fellow Premier League side Aston Villa are also interested in Kean.

The player himself is open to the idea of a Premier League return, despite struggling during his time with Everton.

Kean scored just four goals in 39 matches during his time on Merseyside, before departing to join Juventus permanently having spent time on loan with both the Old Lady and French giants Paris Saint-Germain.

The report claims that there is a release clause in Kean’s contract – set at around £43 million – that will become active this summer.

Premier League clubs are therefore showing interest in the Italian, and could move for him when the transfer window reopens at the end of the season.
