Barca, Atletico 'to battle for Boufal'

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will reportedly go head to head for the signature of Lille winger Sofiane Boufal in this summer's transfer window.

The 22-year-old has scored 14 Ligue 1 goals in 43 appearances for Lille since making the move from Angers in January 2015.

Manchester United and Arsenal are both believed to be keen admirers of the two-time Moroccan international, but according to AS, it is Barcelona and Atletico that will battle for Boufal's signature this summer.

Paris Saint-Germain have also previously been linked with the attacker, who has been dubbed "the new Eden Hazard".
