Tottenham Hotspur are allegedly tracking the PSG ace.
Speculation is building around Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot’s future, with Tottenham thought to be eyeing a £20 million swoop for the midfielder, according to the Sun, and the north London outfit might just have the trump card in the race for the Frenchman’s signature.
The 23-year-old is a tactically astute central midfielder, with excellent positional awareness and a fantastic range of passing.
Rabiot would be a sensational signing for Spurs, but there will be many clubs who will also want to sign him either this month, or on a free transfer in the summer.
Tottenham might just be able to steal a march on their rivals, however.
The Lilywhites currently have Lucas Moura and Serge Aurier amongst their ranks – both former teammates of Rabiot during their time at PSG.
A move away from a football club where the 23-year-old has spent his entire senior career will obviously be an incredibly hard one for him to undertake, but the potential of joining a team where he is very familiar with two players would surely help sway his decision.
Tottenham sold Mousa Dembele earlier this month, so Mauricio Pochettino will be desperate to bring in another established central midfielder, and Rabiot would be just the ticket.
And for the reported fee of just £20 million, he would surely be a real coup for Spurs.
It won’t be easy for the north Londoners to snare the PSG star, but having Lucas Moura and Serge Aurier already at the club will surely greatly increase their chances of doing just that.
