Man Utd rival Arsenal, Spurs for Lille fullback Zeki Celik

Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham are all moving for Lille right-back Zeki Celik.

The 24-year-old made 35 appearances for the French side across all competitions in 2020-21 as they went on to win Ligue 1 for the sixth time in their history.

The Turkey international is valued at around £13million (€15m) and the London Evening Standard reports United and the two north London sides are interested, with Celik set to move this summer.

Celik has two years left on his deal at the Stade Pierre Mauroy, but the report adds he would entertain approaches made by any of three Premier League sides, while there is also reportedly interest in Europe too, most notably from Inter Milan.

The report adds the Serie A champions - still reeling from the departure of boss Antonio Conte - fear current right-back Achraf Hakimi could leave for Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
