Arsenal and Tottenham 'set for transfer battle' over Leipzig star Marcel Sabitzer after his goalscoring heroics knocked Jose Mourinho's side out of Champions League

Tottenham are interested in making a move for Leipzig Marcel Sabitzer after the midfielder played a huge part in knocking them out of the Champions League, but they will face competition from rivals Arsenal.

Jose Mourinho's men went out of Europe's premier competition with a whimper as they were thrashed 3-0 by Leipzig in Germany on Tuesday night, with Sabitzer bagging a brace.

The Austrian certainly turned heads with his performance and now the two are prepared to go to war for his signature, according to Italian outlet Calciomercato.
