Rabiot is out of contract at PSG and has long been linked with a move to Tottenham.
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly received a huge boost in their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot, with the report claiming that PSG would be willing to sell Rabiot to the north London club – and Spurs fans are excited.
French outlet Le Parisien claim PSG do not want to let 23-year-old Rabiot leave the French champions, despite his contract set to expire at the end of the season.
Recent reports have suggested that Barcelona have verbally agreed a move with Rabiot that would see the holding midfielder move to the Nou Camp at the end of the 2018-19 campaign. But that is rubbished by Le Parisien.
The report states, though, that PSG may have to sell the six-time France international in the January transfer window. But President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi will only sell to a club they have strong connections with.
If the report is to be believed, that means PSG will only sell Rabiot to either Italian champions Juventus or indeed Tottenham. Spurs have bought Lucas Moura and Serge Aurier from the French club in recent years.
Tottenham fans reacted to the news that their club were one of two sides in with a shout of landing the colossal midfielder, who could be eyed as Mousa Dembele’s long-term replacement with the Belgian also set to see his contract expire.
