Arsenal to hijack deal for Barcelona target Adrien Rabiot

Adrien Rabiot has fallen out with Paris Saint-Germain

Paris Saint-Germain star, Adrien Rabiot, looks all set to leave the club after refusing to sign a contract extension of the club, after reportedly falling out with the club authorities. The 23-year-old was heavily linked with a potential move to Barcelona, but the signing of Frenkie de Jong seems to have silenced those rumours.

Rabiot's current contract expires in the summer, and he will then be able to leave the club as a free agent, which will allow him to join any club of his choosing. According to the latest reports from The Daily Mirror, Rabiot is now being pursued by Arsenal as well, who reportedly believe they hold the advantage in the race for the Frenchman.

Arsenal manager, Unai Emery, has previously worked with Rabiot at PSG and is believed to be a fan of Rabiot. Emery is reportedly very keen on being reunited with his former player and will reportedly prompt Arsenal to get the deal done.
