Arsenal and Tottenham are on red alert after the news striker Goran Pandev will be allowed to leave Lazio.

The three London clubs are all set to battle it out for Pandev’s signature if he decides a move to the Premier League is his desired destination.

The Macedonia international officially filed for a termination of his contract with Lazio in September after being excluded from the squad and labelled as a 'rebel' by president Claudio Lotito.



Pandev’s lawyer Mattia Grassani said: “Goran’s contract has been resolved and the club have now been ordered to pay £143,500 in punitive damages as well as the legal costs.”

The race is now hotting up for the striker’s signature with both Inter Milan and Juventus also reported to be interested in securing the player's services.

Pandev has been a prolific goalscorer for Lazio since signing in 2004 finding the back of the net 48 times in over 150 appearances for the Italian side.
