North London rivals battle it out for South American ace

Tottenham and Arsenal are set to battle it for Porto front man Radamel Falcao reports Goal.com

Falcao has been excellent since his switch to the Primeira Liga scoring 73 goals in 85 appearances fuelling speculation that one of Europe’s elite is set to pounce for the talented forward.

But it is Premierships duo, Spurs and Arsenal who are set to make a £26million move for the Colombian.

His agent Claudio Mossio said "Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are the two clubs that are keen to sign him, and have already tabled an offer for Falcao," he said.

"He is 25-years-old, but he still has plenty of room for improvement. The problem with a transfer to Italy is that he does not have a EU passport. He has a contract for two more years with Porto and has a buy-out clause of €30m.

"The club that matches that clause has a good chance of signing him. Porto want to open contract talks and offer him a new and improved deal to insert a higher minimum fee release clause."
