The Nigerians' representative, Ken Van Deyck, has revealed to talkSPORT that the north London side will have to battle it out with the Portuguese giants if they're to land the pair.

“We are finalising a deal with Arsenal and Benfica, who I am talking to as exclusive European representative for both players” he said.
