Arsenal have been tipped to reignite their summer interest in Juventus’ Adrien Rabiot in the January window.
Mikel Arteta is thought to be keen on bringing the French midfielder to the Emirates should he lose one of Granit Xhaka or Lucas Torreira.
And according to Italian outlet Calcio Mercato, cited by @ZRAFC, the Serie A champions won’t consider parting ways with the 24-year-old unless they receive an offer in the region of €25m (£21.3m).
The Gunners were reportedly interested in a loan deal, however, it appears as if Juventus would only consider a permanent offer, with Rabiot failing to cement his place in Maurizio Sarri’s side.
The news quickly made its way across social media on Thursday evening, and these fans urged the club to make their move over the coming weeks.

Xhaka and Torreira have both been linked with moves to Hertha Berlin and Napoli respectively, and if either leave the Emirates, they’d need to be replaced.
Rabiot has plenty of top-level experience and could prove to be a shrewd signing at just over £21m.
He’s strong, athletic and has a real eye for a pass, three attributes that would be welcomed by Arteta in north London.
At 24 years of age, he’d also have time to develop under Arteta before reaching his prime.
