Arsenal and Tottenham compete to sign Ibrahim Mazza in January

Algerian international Ibrahim Mazza is attracting interest from two prominent clubs in the Premier League, as Arsenal and Tottenham have expressed their desire to sign him during the upcoming winter transfer window, given the performances the young player is delivering with Bayer 04 Leverkusen.

According to English media reports, the two clubs are monitoring the situation of the 20-year-old Algerian playmaker ahead of a potential move in January, despite his contract with Bayer 04 Leverkusen running until the summer of 2030.

Arsenal lead the Premier League table after winning last season's title, while Tottenham sit in 11th place as both clubs compete to secure a deal for Maaza to bolster their attacking options.

In contrast, Bayer 04 Leverkusen are seeking to secure the player's future within the squad, as German media reports indicate that negotiations have begun to extend his contract until the summer of 2031, aiming to fend off temptations of a departure.

The proposed German offer includes raising the annual salary for Maaza from €2.5 million to €4 million, along with a signing bonus of €4 million upon agreeing to the new contract.

Ibrahim Maaza's future is attracting increasing interest ahead of the winter transfer window, as the player has until January 31 to decide whether to continue his journey with Bayer 04 Leverkusen or embark on a new experience in the Premier League.
