Daily Star on Sunday reports that Arsenal and Tottenham are close to confirm new summer signings. Both clubs are eager to bolster their squads in front of the new Premier League season.

Harry Redknapp has joined the chase for former Liverpool and Sunderland forward Djibril Cisse and sees the French international as an ideal partner for Robbie Keane.

Tottenham will get competition from Greek top club Panathinaikos. Cisse is currenlty on the books at Marseille and the player would probably be sold for a fee close to £9 million.

Arsenal are eager to sign German international Thomas Hitzlsperger. Hitzlsperger (27) has played for Stuttgart since 2005.  He has previously played for Aston Villa and also spent time at Chesterfield on a short loan spell in the 2001-2002 season.

Hitzlsperger has since joining Stuttgart played 115 games for the Bundesliga club and also been a regular in the German team, with 45 caps so far in his career.

Cisse and Hitzlsperger are both great footballers that definately will be interesting players to follow in the Premier League.
