​Tottenham and Everton go head to head over Leverkusen midfielder Calhanoglu

Two Premier League clubs have emerged as favourites to sign Bayer Leverkusen's Hakan Calhanoglu.

Chelsea and Arsenal had been mooted as possible destinations for the attacking midfielder, with moves to Turkey and Italy also suggested.

However, according to The Sun, Tottenham and Everton are the front-runners for the 23-year old.

The German-born Calhanoglu elected to represent Turkey at international level and has gone on to collect 26 caps for Ay-Yildizlilar.

Leverkusen are demanding £20m for the midfielder, who has made 114 appearances for Die Werkself since moving to the Bundesliga club in 2014.
