Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal chase Forest teen Jamal Lascelles

Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are reportedly battling it out to sign Nottingham Forest defender Jamaal Lascelles.

The England Under-19s international made his Championship debut during Forest's 2-0 defeat to Burnley at the City Ground last week.

It is believed that Tottenham have joined their North London rivals in the race to clinch the 18-year-old, according to the Daily Mail.

The Gunners were reportedly unsuccessful with a bid in the region of £2m for Lascelles last season but could reignite their interest at the end of the season.
