Reports indicated that scouts from Arsenal and Chelsea attended the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium midweek to observe the performance of Argentine forward Julian Alvarez during his team Atletico Madrid's 3-2 loss in the Champions League second leg match.

The Argentine forward stood out in the match despite his team's loss, as he scored a goal and assisted another.

Sources revealed that Álvarez has informed Atlético Madrid's management of his desire to move to another club, but his preferred destination remains Barcelona, which is facing financial difficulties preventing the completion of the deal at the moment.

Several European clubs are closely monitoring the player, with clear interest from top Premier League teams, at a time when Álvarez seems ready to embark on a new experience away from the Spanish capital.
