Arsenal lead race for Tottenham Hotspur target Adrien Rabiot

The Italian news outlet has reported that Arsenal are ahead in the race for France international midfielder Rabiot, who is out of contract at Juventus at the end of the season.

This report follows claims in the English media that Tottenham are keen on the 27-year-old, who starred at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, and want to bring the former Paris Saint-Germain star to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the middle of the season.

Earlier this month, The Times reported that Tottenham are ready to bid for the midfielder in the January transfer window.

Juventus have reportedly told Spurs to pay £13.5 million for Rabiot, described asa very complete player” who is “great both with and without the ball” by Barcelona head coach Xavi in Sportskeeda. in 2017.

January or summer move?

In our opinion, it would make sense for Adrien Rabiot to wait until the end of the season before making a decision on his future.

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in the Frenchman is not going to wane, and the Frenchman would be able to demand a bigger salary as a free agent next summer.
