Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are set to go head-to-head in the January transfer window as they vie for the signature of Crystal Palace left-back, Tyrick Mitchell. The 25-year-old has been a standout performer for the Eagles and his contract is set to expire in the summer, making him a prime target for both London clubs.

According to Football Insider, Arsenal have expressed a strong interest in Mitchell and are keen to secure his services as early as this month. The Gunners are looking to bolster their defensive options and see Mitchell as an ideal fit for their style of play.

However, Arsenal are not alone in their pursuit of the England international. Tottenham Hotspur have also been monitoring Mitchell's situation and have made it clear that they are keen to bring him to North London. Spurs are in need of a left-back and believe that Mitchell could be the long-term solution to their problems in that position.

Crystal Palace are naturally keen to keep hold of Mitchell, but they face a difficult task in convincing him to sign a new contract. With both Arsenal and Tottenham offering the lure of Champions League football, it will be difficult for the Eagles to match the ambitions of their London rivals.
