Paris Saint-Germain have placed the Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina high on their list of Adrien Rabiot replacements – alongside players from Everton and Watford, according to the Sun.

Everton’s Idrissa Gueye and Watford’s Abdoulaye Doucoure are said to make up two of the other four players, although it is claimed that the French side are ready to rest Southampton with a £30 million offer for Lemina.

Such a bid would be around double what the Saints paid to sign the Gabon international from Juventus 18 months ago.

And according to the Sun, the new Southampton manager, Ralph Hasenhuttl, will weigh up any offers for his players in search of funds with which to freshen up his squad in January.

Rabiot is in the final year of his contract at the Parc des Princes, and is expected to depart with Chelsea among those credited with an interest in signing him.

Could Southampton’s Lemina become Rabiot’s replacement, or will Everton or Watford lose their midfielders instead?
