Tottenham edge ahead of Arsenal in race for Schneiderlin

Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Tottenham have stolen a march on Arsenal in the race to sign Morgan Schneiderlin, with the Southampton midfielder swayed by the "great future" the north Londoners have ahead of them under Mauricio Pochettino. Arsenal opened discussions over a deal to sign Schneiderlin last week but north London rivals Spurs are also in talks to sign the 24-year-old and believe they are favourites for his signature. The £18 (€22.7) million-rated France international is emerging as Tottenham's leading target for the summer transfer window as Pochettino looks to improve his squad ahead of the new season and the clubs have been in discussions for several weeks. Schneiderlin has spoken glowingly of his improvement under Pochettino and believes re-uniting with the Argentine would be a better career move than moving to Arsenal. "I think a manager like that is good for every club," Schneiderlin told Goal. "With the quality Tottenham have, Mauricio Pochettino will get the best out of each player. "He improved me very much. He improved the whole squad and improved me as a player. He's a great coach and good man and it's a shame Southampton lost him."
