Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur will battle to sign Roma defender Kostas Manolas, Express Sport has revealed.
The two clubs have made an approach to understand if the Giallorossi would be ready to sell the player.
But coach Rudi Garcia wants the player to stay.
Roma lost Marquinhos to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2013 and Medhi Benatia to Bayern Munich last season and are not ready to sell yet another centre-back during the summer transfer window.
