Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City have each been credited with an interest in the out-of-contract right-back.

The free agent, Dani Alves, is said to favour a move to Arsenal over Tottenham Hotspur or Manchester City.

Arsenal, Tottenham and City have each been credited with an interest in Alves, who left Paris Saint-Germain earlier this summer.

But according to the Sun, it is a reunion with the right-back’s former PSG boss, Unai Emery, at the Emirates Stadium which ‘appeals the most’.

The newspaper claims that Alves earned £230,000 a week in Paris, and is willing to take a cut of £30,000 a week to continue his career in the Premier League.

Manchester City already employ Kyle Walker and Danilo in the 36-year-old’s position and are unlikely to be too badly affected should he move to Arsenal instead.

But that same cannot be said with certainty for Tottenham, who could lose one of their two senior options, Kieran Trippier, to Atletico Madrid.

It remains to be seen whether Tottenham would seek to replace the England international externally, or promote his understudy Kyle Walker-Peters.

What would be the best move for Alves?
