In other news, the paper also suggests that Wenger is looking to sign £2m rated French whizkid Adrien Rabiot from PSG. The 19-year old has been on the club’s radar for sometime and due to several reasons, the Gunners are putting in more groundwork and may look to finish the deal in January.
The midfielder is yet to feature for the Ligue 1 champions this season and after turning down several contract extensions from the club, it is almost certain that Rabiot will leave PSG sooner than later. He was also linked with a move to Chelsea in the summer, but given that he prefers a club that might offer first team football, the French kid could choose to sign for Arsenal.
Although, Rabiot would not solve Arsenal’s need for a solid defensive midfielder, his versatility and age would be crucial for the Gunners. He can play as a defensive midfielder and a normal box to box midfielder with so much ease and could effectively replace club captain Mikel Arteta in the future.
