Tottenham Hotspur to battle Arsenal for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang?

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly joined Arsenal in the battle to sign Borussia Dortmund forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Gabon international has been linked with the Gunners on a number of occasions in the summer transfer window, despite Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke recently insisting that the club are not interested in selling.

However, rumours about a potential move to the Premier League have persisted, and France Football claims that Spurs are prepared to go up against their North London rivals for the 26-year-old's signature.

Aubameyang scored 26 goals in all competitions while being used mainly as a central striker by former Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp last season.

Dortmund signed Aubameyang from Saint-Etienne in 2013.
