Arsenal and Tottenham set for transfer battle as they both eye Euro 2020 'genius'

Tottenham, meanwhile, have relied heavily on Harry Kane in recent years but have seen the striker hit a tough run of form this season after he was denied a dream move to Manchester City in the summer.

The north London duo face competition from the Citizens, Everton and West Ham for Schick’s signature.

Pep Guardiola’s team have been without a recognised striker all season following the departure of Sergio Aguero in the summer and could look to bolster their attack after selling Ferran Torres to Barcelona this week.

The Hammers, meanwhile, could look to add to their ranks in January to maintain their hopes of a top-four finish, while Everton have struggled in front of goal all season.
