Brentford are to battle Tottenham for Sunderland left-back Dennis Cirkin.

The Bees are looking at the England youth star, 20, as a potential long-term replacement for Rico Henry, 25, if he leaves, says The Sun.

Tottenham are also tracking their former youth team star and he may have a decision to make during the next window in January.

The Black Cats only signed Cirkin from Spurs last year.

But the Championship side may be tempted to make a quick profit and cash in on the left-back.
