Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal have both been linked with the 23-year-old.
If rumours are believed, Tottenham Hotspur may be signing long-term Arsenal target Adrien Rabiot in January.
According to Le Parisien, Paris Saint-Germain would be willing to sell Rabiot to Tottenham or Juventus to prevent him going to Barcelona, who have also been linked.
Football London reported in October that Arsenal boss Unai Emery – who worked with the 23-year-old in France – wanted him in January.
And if Spurs get him then that’s a big case of one-upping their North London rivals.
Yes, Arsenal have the wonderful Lucas Torreira, but they also have the unpopular Granit Xhaka and a Torreira-Rabiot midfield axis would be something special for the Gunners.
Emery also has a certain Mateo Guendouzi, with big things expected of him in the future, but for now Rabiot is streets ahead of the 19-year-old.
The Frenchman, who earns £60,000 per week in Paris [Total Sportek], would also improve Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs, with major doubts over Mousa Dembele’s long-term future in London.
The arrival of someone of Rabiot’s vintage might also take Harry Winks to the next level, forcing him to raise his game.
In truth, there are many potential positives about him joining Tottenham, but the theory that Arsenal want him is a big one.
