Tottenham, Arsenal 'alerted to Lucas Vazquez availability'

Real Madrid midfielder Lucas Vazquez is reportedly offered to Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur as his representatives attempt to secure him a Premier League transfer.

Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal have reportedly been offered the chance to sign versatile Real Madrid midfielder Lucas Vazquez.

Negotiations between the player and Los Blancos over a new contract have not reached a positive solution, and he is looking increasingly likely to leave when his deal expires at the end of the season.

Despite remaining a key player under Zinedine Zidane, Vazquez is understood to be open to a departure from the club, and his entourage are supposedly looking to find him a suitor in the Premier League ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.

According to The Mirror, Tottenham is an appealing location to Vazquez as he seeks to work under Jose Mourinho once more, and the Lilywhites could be interested in a deal as the future of Serge Aurier remains up in the air.

Furthermore, with Arsenal's first-choice right-back Hector Bellerin reportedly set to leave the club this summer, the report adds that Vazquez's representatives have also made contact with Mikel Arteta's side over a potential move.

Should Vazquez indeed end his 14-year stint at the Bernabeu, where he boasts two goals and five assists from 22 La Liga appearances this season, Zidane is understood to have identified Levante's Jorge de Frutos as an ideal replacement.
