Spurs to battle rivals for Belgium striker

 

Spurs will attempt to pip Arsenal to the signature of Michy Batshuayi by lodging an early bid for the Marseille striker, according to the Daily Mail.

 

Batshuayi, 22, has courted a lot of interest from clubs around Europe following his sparkling start to the season.

 

Arsenal were linked with the Belgium international in a bid to ease the burden on Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott, but Spurs are also interested in his services as Mauricio Pochettino looks to help Harry Kane up front.
