Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool reportedly want Adrien Rabiot.
Arsenal are confident of beating Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool to the signing of Adrien Rabiot this summer, according to The Express.
The Sun claimed last week that Tottenham were weighing up a late move for the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, who also held talks with Liverpool last month [The Mirror].
But do Arsenal have the upper hand? According to The Express, yes.
Gunners boss Unai Emery worked with Rabiot in the French capital and the English publication claims that gives the Spanish coach an advantage over his North London rivals and Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Barcelona were well in the mix too, but their acquisition of Frenkie De Jong means that they might not pursue the 23-year-old, who is expected to leave Paris in the summer when his contract runs out.
Tottenham arguably need him more than Arsenal and Liverpool.
Emery has a number of excellent midfielders – including Denis Suarez now – and the same could be said for Klopp at Anfield, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also closing in on a return to full fitness.
Spurs, on the other hand, have just lost Mousa Dembele and maybe, just maybe, Rabiot is the perfect replacement.
