Why Arsenal and Tottenham could play a north London derby in Istanbul next season

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have created the possibility of an all-north London clash in the UEFA Super Cup next season.

The annual showpiece is contested by the winners of the Champions League and the Europa League from the previous season, and is currently held by Atletico Madrid; who beat neighbours Real Madrid 4-2 AET in Estonia at the beginning of this campaign.

Next year's edition will be played in Turkey at the Vodafone Park in Istanbul, the home ground of Besikas.

And it could be the two sets of fans from north London who make the trip after both sides reached their respective finals.

Spurs came back from a three-goal deficit at half time to beat Ajax 2-3 on the night and progress 3-3 on the away goals rule.

Arsenal were comfortable 7-3 aggregate winners over Valencia, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's hat-trick sealing a 2-4 win at the Mestalla on Thursday night.

Mauricio Pochettino's men face Liverpool in the Champions League final on 1 June, while Unai Emery's side face Chelsea, after the Blues beat Eintracht Frankfurt on penalties at Stamford Bridge to complete two all-English European finals.

The Europa League final will take place in Baku, Azerbaijan, on Wednesday 29 May.
