Tottenham and Arsenal face competition from Paris St-Germain for the signing of Eric Bailly, according to the Mail on Sunday.
Both north London clubs have been linked with the Manchester United defender, who has been tipped to leave Old Trafford when the transfer window reopens in January.
The Mail on Sunday, however, say French giants PSG are also interested in the Ivory Coast international and could launch a bid to sign him.
Bailly, 24, has been out of favour under United boss Jose Mourinho this season and has made just five Premier League appearances, the most recent of which was at the start of October.
That game was against Newcastle and Bailly was substituted after just 19 minutes by Mourinho after United had gone 2-0 down.
That increased speculation that Bailly has no future at United and is likely to move on – although Mourinho has played down reports that the club could offload him.
But with Bailly having not featured since that first-half horror show, there seems to be no way back for the player at Old Trafford.
Both Spurs and Arsenal have been looking for defensive reinforcements and Bailly is understood to be keen to stay in England if United are willing to sell him.
