The 26-year-old had an impressive season with the Italian club last year but he could be on his way out this summer after their managerial change.
Correa scored 11 goals and picked up six assists across all competitions and he can play in multiple roles across the front three. His versatility could be extremely useful for the two Premier League clubs.
The Argentine could lead the line for Spurs next season or he could play as a wide forward.
Arsenal could use someone like him to support the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nicolas Pepe.
The attacker has a contract with Lazio until the summer of 2024 and the Italian outfit are unlikely to let him leave for cheap.
The Argentine is at the peak of his career right now and he could be someone who makes an immediate impact in the Premier League next year.
Both London clubs will have to add more quality and depth to their side in order to challenge for Champions League football and signings like Correa could prove to be important.
PSG are obviously the best team chasing him and they will be able to provide him with Champions League football next season. However, the lure of Premier League football cannot be underestimated. The like of Spurs and Arsenal will be hoping that the player will be tempted to move to England.
