Arsenal are one of a host of clubs ready to make a move for PSG wonder-kid Adrien Rabiot, who is apparently likely to be sold by the Ligue 1 side according to Sports Direct News.

Rabiot has refused to sign a new contract and has 18 months to run on his current contract and PSG will look to cash-in on the youngster in the summer with Arsenal joined by Tottenham and Man United in a race to sign the rangy midfielder.

Arsene Wenger is clearly a manager who knows good young talent when he sees it and a move for Rabiot is not all that surprising given the potential shown by the teenager, who has already been capped at French Under 21 level.

 

 

Potential to Transition Into a Complete Midfielder

Adrien Rabiot, a 6’3″ centre midfielder who glides across the field, showed glimpses of attacking proficiency on loan at Toulouse last season.

In the 1-0 win over Brest, he scored an outrageous left-footed instep drive from long distance.

Rabiot created three goals in his last two league games for Toulouse, including a brace of assists for goal-poaching No. 9 Wissam Ben Yedder in a 2-0 win over Montpellier.

This season back at Paris Saint-Germain, Rabiot has upped his pass completion percentage to 91, an 11.9 percent increase from his loan spell at Toulouse (79.1).

He dominated midfield proceedings during a 2-0 win over Toulouse, making more tackles (seven) than Abel Aguilar, Etienne Didot and Clement Chantome combined (six).

Rabiot does not have the same dynamic drive as Juventus‘ Paul Pogba, but both players can turn into world-class midfielders.
