The 19-year-old center-back who made his debut for Argentina last year has been eyed by several top sides including these two London outfits.
The teenager is one of the top youngster from Argentina who has been tipped to follow the likes of Hernan Crespo, Javier Mascherano and Gonzalo Higuain.
Mascherano, Crespo and Higuain all were transferred to Europe from their homeland. In Premier League, Crespo played for Chelsea and Mascherano played for Liverpool before leaving for Barcelona few years ago and this youngster is expected to play for Arsenal.
The reports claim strong interest from the London sides and they are likely to fight for his summer move. Meanwhile, La Liga side Atletico Madrid are also keeping tabs on the teenager, as per the Spanish reports. Atletico are confident that they will win the race as the player will struggle in getting work permit in UK.
Mammana is a versatile player, can be used on right-back role apart from his favourite central defensive position.
