Arsenal and Everton are ready to battle it out for Athletic Bilbao defender Unai Nunez.
Both Premier League clubs are keen on the highly-rated centre back, who already has one senior cap for Spain, and are understood to be contemplating a move.
Nunez, 22, helped Spain Under 21s to victory at the European Championships earlier this summer, where his displays caught the attention of clubs across Europe.
But he has found regular first-team football hard to come by this season, raising hope from the Gunners and Toffees that he could be obtainable.
It is understood he has a release clause in the region of £30million.
