Arsenal and Tottenham to battle it out for Fenerbahce hotshot

Arsenal and Tottenham are set for a north London battle to sign Fenerbahce hotshot Emmanuel Emenike, according to reports in Turkey.

The Nigerian joined the Turkish club back in summer 2013 and has gone on to score 13 goals in 32 league outings for the side.

His form for his club, and his national team Nigeria, has attracted the attention of some of Europe's biggest clubs and now, according to Turkish newspaper Skorer, Arsenal and Spurs are in the hunt.

The arch rivals are both short of attacking options and, according to this report, have set their sights on the powerful 27-year-old hit man.

Emenike, a former Chelsea target, has three years left on his current deal and is rated at around £15m by Fenerbahce, who are bracing themselves for New Year bids.
