Spurs and Gunners reportedly willing to meet release clause
Tottenham and Arsenal are reportedly willing to meet the £26million release clause in Porto striker Radamel Falcao's contract.
The Colombian is hot property after scoring 16 times in Porto's victorious league campaign, while also netting 17 goals in their successful Europa League adventure.
Porto are negotiating a new deal with the 25-year-old after admitting that the release clause in his current contract - 30 million euros (£25.9million) - could be met by one of Europe's biggest clubs.
Spurs and Arsenal are reportedly on the lookout for strikers this summer and Claudio Mossi, an agent from the Sivori & Asociados group that represents Falcao, claims the two north London sides are very keen on the frontman.
"England are crazy about Falcao," Mossi told
Maisfutebol.
"Among the leading candidates are Arsenal and Tottenham. They are willing to hit the 30 million clause.
Not extraordinary
"The figure is not an extraordinary value for them."
Falcao spoke of his intention to stay at the Estadio do Dragao after scoring the winner in last week's Europa League final win over Braga.
The former River Plate man said he wanted to remain with the Portuguese champions to play UEFA Champions League football under Andre Villas-Boas, and Mossi admitting that staying with Porto is an option.
"He is very happy at Porto," Mossi said.
"There he can play the Champions next year. The problem is that every day he is linked with other clubs.
"It is important that he is left alone for a time with his family now to decide."
