ARSENAL and Tottenham are competing for Wolfsburg winger Omar Marmoush, according to reports.
The Egypt international, 23, is having an impressive season on loan to his club's Bundesliga rivals Stuttgart.
Marmoush is due back at Wolfsburg in May, but will just have a year left on his contract.
And top-selling German daily claims rival bosses Mikel Arteta and Antonio Conte are monitoring his situation with the view to a summer move.
Cairo-born Marmoush has made 15 Stuttgart appearances this term, scoring three goals and setting up four more.
He took the eye in last month's 3-2 win over Augsburg, scoring with a sumptuous free-kick.

Marmoush has won 11 Egypt caps, and helped the Pharaohs reach last December's Africa Cup of Nations final - where they lost to Senegal.
He suffered similar heartbreak last week when Egypt missed out on qualifying for the World Cup finals, once more at Senegal's expense.
The winger has previously declared his aim to follow Liverpool icon Mohamed Salah's example in moving to England.
He said: "I'd like to one day play for a big team in the Premier League. I hope to one day play alongside Salah."

Wolfsburg signed Marmoush from Cairo club Wadi Degla in 2017.
He impressed on loan to second-tier St Pauli last season after being shipped out by Wolfsburg coach Mark van Bommel..
Since then he has gone from strength to strength at Stuttgart, scoring on his debut and winning the Bundesliga's rookie of the month award last September.
Marmoush could now become Arsenal's second-ever Egyptian player by following in Mohamed Elneny's footsteps.
Meanwhile compatriots Mido and Hossam Ghaly have previously played for Spurs.
