Three-way battle for Douglas Costa

Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal and are set to do battle for the signature of Douglas Costa.

The Brazilian was hugely impressive during Shakhtar Donetsk’s Champions League campaign last season and reports suggest the Ukrainian side are willing to listen to offers as little as £10m.

Chelsea are keen to bolster their midfield ranks having missed out on Javier Pastore and look set to lose on Luka Modric.

North London rivals Tottenham and Arsenal have both turned their attentions to the 20-year-old having missed out on Juan Mata, who opted to remain with Valencia.

Reports now suggest that the bidding war will quicken over the next week.
