Tottenham chief Damien Comolli is planning an approach to bitter rivals Arsenal for young duo Denilson and Armand Traore.
The People says Comolli has extensive knowledge of the mine of rich talent at the Emirates after a seven-year stint as a scout for fellow Frenchman Arsene Wenger.
Wenger is highly unlikely to offload Brazilian star Denilson, 19, but French left-back Traore, 18, could be prised from the Emirates.
