Arsenal and Tottenham 'set to battle it out for Chelsea winger Willian' as they face up to summer window where they 'can only sign players for free or on loan' due to impact of coronavirus

Arsenal and Tottenham will compete against each other for the free signing of Chelsea's Willian as they face up to a lean transfer window this summer.

The Premier League rivals are facing a scenario where they will only sign players on free transfers, loans or in swap deals, according to The Telegraph.

Both clubs are reportedly planning for a summer without spending any money as the financial impact of the coronavirus suspension begins to bite.
