Tottenham are reportedly attempting to convince Adrien Rabiot to sign.
According to France Football, Tottenham Hotspur are making a push for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot – and Mauricio Pochettino will allegedly meet with him tonight to discuss a move.
Spurs have yet to make a move in this month’s transfer window, despite the very clear need for attacking options with Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Son Heung-min all unavailable.
Another issue lies in central midfield, as Mousa Dembele has moved on to China, whilst Victor Wanyama and Moussa Sissoko are only just back in training.
Now, France Football report that Spurs want to land PSG ace Rabiot, and even claim that boss Pochettino will meet with Rabiot tonight in an attempt to convince him to join.
Le10 Sport reported last month that Rabiot had ruled out a move to Tottenham, seemingly setting his sights on a move to a club like Barcelona.
Yet with Barca tonight agreeing a deal for Ajax star Frenkie de Jong, Spurs may feel that they can change Rabiot’s mind and get him to agree a deal.
It’s unclear whether he would be signing now or in the summer. His PSG contract expires at the end of the season and he has refused to sign a new one, meaning he could be signed to a pre-contract agreement for nothing.
Rabiot, 23, has hit 25 goals in 232 appearances for PSG, and would be a classy addition to the Spurs midfield with athletic and technical ability, but whether Pochettino can secure his signature remains to be seen.
