Arsenal ‘ready to beat Tottenham to shock Clinton N’Jie transfer deal’

Arsenal are ready to sign Lyon striker Clinton N’Jie after hijacking Tottenham’s move for the player, according to reports.

Cameroon star N’Jie is the latest talent to emerge from Lyon’s academy and Spurs had made a £7million bid to sign him last week ahead of a host of rivals.

But Arsenal have stormed in on deal with reports suggesting they’re ‘very interested’ in getting him signed up before the end of the transfer window.

Spurs, who are currently occupied by signing West Brom’s Saido Berahino, will be annoyed if Arsenal can close out this deal, having apparently been scouting him for ages.
