Tottenham are closing in on a deal to sign Yves Bissouma from Brighton whilst Arsenal continue to be linked with their own pursuit of Youri Tielemans. The battle of the midfield signings is sure to dominate much of the discussion around who will have the better summer.
Spurs needed to find that partner for Rodrigo Bentancur that could offer them more than Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. Whereas Arsenal are looking for a more progressive midfielder that can add more to their attack.
Arsenal kept the most clean sheets in a season since 2017/18 and their defence was lacking much of its starters through injury for extended periods of the campaign, not to mention the absences of Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka too.
