Is Arsenal losing transfer battle to Spurs?

Tottenham are mulling a bid for Malaga striker Jose Salomon Rondon amid claims the Spanish club are on the brink of a financial crisis, according to the Daily Mail.

Rondon, 22, is also a target of Chelsea and Arsenal in recent months but Spurs are weighing up an offer which could see Giovani dos Santos go the other way.

Malaga's Qatari owner allegedly owes several players wages, has refused to bail out previous debts and the Spanish tax office is investigating payments on salaries and transfers, the report added.

Rondon has scored 27 goals in two seasons for the club and Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini said: "Rondon has had substantial offers from Germany and England."

Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas may yet revive interest in Internacional striker Leandro Damiao and is also keen on Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao.
