The Telegraph claim Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot is keen on joining a Champions League club in the Premier League – with the report name dropping Tottenham and Liverpool as possible suitors.
Rabiot, 27, has been strongly linked with the exit door at Juventus. Reports in Italy even suggest the £15million-rated star has even informed the Old Lady of his desire to depart, with his contract ending next summer.

A seven-time league title winner – six with PSG and one with Juve – Rabiot’s preferred destination is the Premier League. Having played in the Champions League for so long, he does not want to change that this summer.
Newcastle are said to have had an offer rejected for Rabiot already this summer – but the report does state he might entertain a move to Manchester United or Arsenal. The Gunners are considering a swap move, with Hector Bellerin.
£15m-rated Rabiot keen on Tottenham and Liverpool
Which club would be best for Rabiot? Of the six named, Manchester United and Arsenal need Rabiot the most – but he might not entertain a Europa League side. Manchester City are likely to sign Kalvin Phillips, and are ‘close’.
Liverpool have the likes of James Milner, Fabinho and Jordan Henderson in holding midfield. Chelsea could do with cover, but he would hardly start above the likes of Jorginho, N’Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic.
Tottenham, meanwhile, have brought in Yves Bissouma and still boast Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Rodrigo Bentancur and Oliver Skipp. Rabiot might have to consider Arsenal or Manchester United.
