Arsenal set to battle Tottenham in race to sign 23-year-old Premier League attacker valued at £60million: Reports

As per TBR Football, Arsenal are set to rival Tottenham Hotspur in the race to sign Nottingham Forest's Anthony Elanga. Spurs are reportedly looking to reinforce their attacking options after securing UEFA Champions League qualification for next season.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are also monitoring Elanga as a viable option to add to their options on the right wing. The aforementioned report claims that Forest values the 23-year-old at £60 million.

Since moving from Manchester United to Forest in the summer of 2025, Elanga has improved by leaps and bounds, putting in decisive performances for the club. In 43 outings last term, Elanga registered six goals and 12 assists across competitions for Forest.

However, the £60 million valuation by Forest could make this potential deal difficult for both the north London clubs. Amid the speculations, Elanga remains contracted at Forest till June 2028.

Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has claimed that he is yet to evaluate his future at the Emirates. This comes as his contractual agreement with the Gunners is set to expire in the coming weeks (June 30).

In an interview with 3Sports, Partey revealed (via Mirror):

"I think the first thing is where are you happy and where do you feel at home. At the end of the day you’ve been in football, you’ve been in different teams. Then it’s about what is your next objective what do you want to achieve next. You still have to look at all this and at the end of the day we all have a family that needs money, this is our mind."

He continued:

"We are not getting younger. There are a lot of things where you have to look now with a family, where you want them to be happy. When you are young you just play anywhere."

Last term, the Ghanaian played a vital role in ensuring that the Gunners' midfield remained organized and stabilized. In 52 outings, he registered seven goal contributions as the club finished second in the Premier League.
