Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been linked with an £8million swoop for Ipswich's England youth international Connor Wickham.
Wickham starred for the England Under-17 side as they became European Under 17 champions in May and his performances are thought to have alerted Wenger.
However, north London rivals Spurs are also keen on the striker's signature and boss Harry Redknapp has already seen a bid of £5million knocked back by the Tractor Boys.
It is thought a bid of £8million may be enough to convince Ipswich to cash-in on the talented youngster, with some reports suggesting Spurs are ready to make an improved offer and allow Wickham to rejoin Ipswich on loan next season.
Wenger will face a battle to secure Wickham's signature but the Gunners boss is thought to be desperate to bring the English youngster to the Emirates and will not want to lose out to Tottenham.
