Tottenham and Arsenal have one of the biggest rivalries in English football and it seems that both teams will be taking their rivalry to the transfer market this summer.
A report via Football London is linking both teams in the race to snap up young West Brom defender, Nathan Ferguson after his fine season at the Hawthorns.
Ferguson broke into the West Brom first team properly this season and his fine showing for them hasn’t gone unnoticed by some of England’s top teams.
Tottenham has shown that they can bring through some of England’s best youngsters in recent seasons and the Lilywhites have been linked with a move for the 19-year-old.
His senior debut came on the opening day of the Championship season and he impressed enough to be given a sustained run in the team.

The Birmingham born star has gone on to make 21 Championship appearances for Slaven Bilic’s side as they look for promotion back to the Premier League.
The report also claims that Crystal Palace wants the defender and that the Eagles are favourites to land him.
This is because he was on the verge of completing a transfer to Selhurst Park in the last transfer window, but the deal fell through after an issue arose with his medical.
However, if both Tottenham and Arsenal decide to make a move for Ferguson then they have the stature to see off the Eagles.
That said, Tottenham does have some financial constraints and Arsenal are in no better shape either.
Buy him cheap, loan him back for one year. WBA getting promoted could cause a problem.

This would be a good signing but getting your hopes up too high as a Spurs fan can be very stressful.
