# Midfielder to reject Arsenal despite previously agreeing terms

Yacine Adli will turn down a move to Arsenal and sign a three-year professional deal with Paris Saint-Germain, according to Paris United, as cited by [Get French Football News](https://twitter.com/GFFN/status/1006558221761474562).

The report from France claims that sporting director Antero Henrique convinced the player to stay in Paris, despite previous claims suggesting that a move to Arsenal was all-but complete.

Reports have suggested that Unai Emery was going to make the player one of his first signings at the club by swooping in with a professional contract offer, however, that no longer appears to be the case.

The player was expected to [sign](https://readarsenal.com/2018/06/06/arsenal-sign-psg-youngster/) a three-year contract at the Emirates, which would include the option for another year.

The news will come as a blow to Arsenal, with Adli one of the highest rated young players coming through at Paris Saint-Germain.

While Adli was not expected to feature extensively in the first-team picture during the new season, the Gunners have missed out on a bright prospect for the future.
