Manchester United defender Eric Bailly is wanted by both Arsenal and Tottenham for a January transfer.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is a big fan of the Ivory Coast international, who has become disillusioned at Old Trafford under Jose Mourinho, reports the Daily Star.

Arsenal too are also keen on Bailly and now the pair are set to go head-to-head when the transfer window reopens.

Bailly cost United £30million when he joined from Villarreal in 2016, and they almost certainly won't ask for any less from their Premier League rivals.
