According to Bild, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are both very interested in signing Hoffenheim midfielder Nadiem Amiri. The North London rivals are used to battling it out for young stars and they’ve done so before, although they probably won’t be the only top European clubs who enquire about his services.

While four points from two games has both England and the Czech Republic in a strong position to qualify for the last 16 – a draw would secure a top-two finish for both – the…
