Tottenham leapfrog Arsenal as they table contract offer to in-demand Lihadji

Both Arsenal and Tottenham have recently made contact with Marseille over a deal for young winger Isaac Lihadji.

The north London heavyweights emerged as possible contenders to land the teenager who has made two first-team appearances this season.

However, according to Fussball Transfers, cited by Sport Witness, Spurs have now offered the 17-year-old a deal, with the Frenchman set to become a free transfer in the summer.

The report also claims that Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus and Lille have all done the same.

There’s no mention of the Gunners, though, with Lihadji catching the eye across Europe following his excellent displays in the Under-17 World Cup.

Arsenal have had previous success of bringing attacking prospects to the Emirates, with Gabriel Martinelli one of the club’s top performers this season.

It wouldn’t surprise us if the Gunners are the next club to make a proposal to the teenager, who looks like he’ll have a big decision to make over the coming months.
