# So…AC Milan And Arsenal Target Set For Talks With Tottenham

**17 year old hot prospect M’Baye Niang has attracted the attention of Europe’s top teams and looks set to leave his club, French side Caen.**

[The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/arsenal-transfers-tottenham-want-mbaye-1252433) have reported that Niang has been invited to White Hart Lane, where he will meet with Tottenham officials who will offer him a better deal than their North London rivals Arsenal.

But could Tottenham actually persuade the prospect to snub the Champions League teams and join a club who are only in the UEFA cup?

This could easily work in Tottenham’s favour however. Even though they aren’t in the prestigious Champions League, Spurs could offer Niang a position in their UEFA Cup team and therefore could give him experience playing in a European tournament.

This is something which would not be as likely to happen at Arsenal, as the Gunners would be more reluctant to offer Niang a place in their Champions League team due to the higher prestige of that tournament.

The striker has impressed many with his form, which has resulted in him becoming a regular for the under-18 French team.

Could Spurs persuade Niang to join? Leave your comments below.
