Wide man watched by duo

The race is on for FC Porto winger Christian Atsu with both Liverpool and Tottenham set to make a move for his services.

Portuguese daily paper A Bola claims the 20-year-old , who can also operate up front as well as on the wing, has come to the attention of would be suitors after excelling whilst on loan with Rio Ave last season. Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to add to his squad and, after finally removing Alberto Aquilani of their books, they have room for another wide man. Spurs remain the favourites though as the Ghanaian national is no stranger to their boss Andre Villas-Boas as it was him who first brought him through the ranks at Porto last year and he will be well aware of his talents.
