Arsenal and Spurs to go head to head for Brazilian playmaker

Arsenal and Tottenham are to spend January battling it out for Weder Bremen playmaker Diego. The Brazilian international is widely regarded as one of the best midfield players in the world and has now caught the eye of both Harry Redknapp and Arsene Wenger, who are keen to bring him to England.

Diego, 23, has previously been linked with a move to the Premier League with Chelsea understood to be keen admirers but for whatever reasons he remains a Bremen player. Both Arsenal and Spurs are likely to splash the cash in January with Diego now thought to be a number one target for both North London clubs.

Diego has spent the last two years with the Bundesliga giants since moving from Portuguese side FC Porto. He has an impressive strike rate for an attacking midfield player, bagging 31 goals in just 100 appearances. I personally would love to see Diego move to England. He is quality player who I feel would definitely be a magnificent signing either side in question.

Spurs playmaker the man to answer Chelsea's injury problems?

Chelsea could make a surprise January move for Tottenham attacking midfielder Giovani Dos Santos. The Mexican international has struggled to nail down a first team place at White Hart Lane since joining the club from La Liga giants Barcelona and a January move has been speculated in recent days.

Chelsea boss Luis Felipe Scolari is looking to add to his squad following injuries to key players such as Michael Essien and Joe Cole once the transfer window opens. Dos Santos, 19, has only made six appearances in the league for the North London club and a January exit looks a possibility now with Chelsea ready to offer the player an exit route from Spurs.

Dos Santos last played for Spurs under former manager Juande Ramos and has recently been sidelined with an injury. It has been a real shame not to of seen more of the promising youngster in the first third of the season. Dos Santos came to England with a massive reputation and in fairness to him he had a decent pre-season but unfortunately for him and indeed Spurs fans he hasn't been able to show his undoubted ability in the league.

The Mexican playmaker costs just £4.5 million in this season's "You the Manager" and in my view is definitely worth a look. So follow the link below to enter your team to be in with a chance of winning some terrific weekly and monthly prizes.
