Arsenal Close To Sealing Move For French Sensation

Arsenal are close to sealing a move for Paris Saint Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot, after the player refused to join the French side for training in order to force through his move to the Emirates Stadium, and his agent has also been spotted in London, according to Metro.

The Gunners are lacking depth in midfield and recent results have shown Arsene Wenger needs to reshuffle some aspects of his side. With a little more competition in the centre of midfield, the club would be in a safer position, especially with the number of games increasing over the next few months. The defensive midfield position has been lacking, and with Alex Song linked with Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal seem to have lost out on their former player.


Rabiot is a creative midfielder who can also impact the game in the defensive third, with a strong left foot. He had been a target for Chelsea in the past, but Jose Mourinho decided against signing the player due to an injury that saw him damage his medial knee ligaments. Arsenal are aware of this factor, and that is why the pre-signing medical examination will be very important in this case. With a few days left in the transfer window, Arsenal officials seem to have cracked a deal with PSG, and the figure being quoted is in the range of £10-12 million.
