Arsenal are thought to be ‘very interested’ in signing soon to be free agent Adrien Rabiot, but would the midfielder be a good fit at the Emirates?
According to the media in France, cited by the Daily Mail, Unai Emery is thought to be extremely keen on bringing the 24-year-old to London, with Tottenham and Liverpool also keen on the player.
Rabiot is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain when his deal expires on July 1 and could be exactly what the Gunners need.
Arsenal need to bolster their midfield options over the summer, with Lucas Torreira and the departing Aaron Ramsey the only midfielders to come out of the season with any praise.
Rabiot, who has worked with Emery at PSG, would provide Arsenal with plenty of versatility in midfield.
The Frenchman could be deployed just in front of the back four, or in a more advanced central midfield role.
With Emery using a 3-4-1-2 formation for the majority of the season, Rabiot could be a perfect partner for Torreira in controlling the midfield next season.
The 24-year-old wouldn’t provide the Gunners with a free-scoring midfield option, however, his work rate, tackling qualities and ability on the ball could see him take to the Premier League with ease.
Rabiot would demand a high wage, however, he could well be just what the Gunners and Emery need next season.
A move for Rabiot would definitely be viewed as a step in the right direction for th Gunners, however, after failing to secure Champions League football, the midfielder, unfortunately, may well be hard to sign.
