Tottenham rival Arsenal for Man Utd defender Smalling

Tottenham are moving for Manchester United defender Chris Smalling.

The Sun says the England defender will be allowed to leave Manchester United this summer following the arrival of Victor Lindelof from Benfica.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has been looking for cover in that position and was in the race for Harry Maguire before Leicester snapped him up. Swansea's Alfie Mawson is believed to be another option.

Poch has Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen but needs to strengthen the heart of his defence to cope with a title challenge and Champions League football.

West Ham and Everton have been linked with the 27-year-old and Arsenal are long-term admirers.
