Gunners to speak to Adrien Rabiot.
Read more Arsenal transfer news.
Arsenal have had an offer accepted for teenage French midfielder Adrien Rabiot from Paris Saint Germain, report the Daily Star, as the Gunners move closer to another summer signing.
The 19 year-old is reportedly available for a cut price fee having been told by PSG that he is free to leave the Parc des Princes, having grown frustrated with a lack of first team opportunities in Laurent Blanc’s side.
Arsenal’s Premier League rivals Chelsea were also believed to hold an interest in Rabiot, but it would appear that it is Arsene Wenger who has made the move to try and secure the signing of a player who is highly rated, despite having made less than 40 Ligue 1 appearances for PSG.
Rabiot is set to become Arsenal’s fifth major signing, following Alexis Sanchez, David Ospina, Calum Chambers and Mathieu Debuchy, and will provide additional cover in the centre of the pitch – although it is likely that Wenger, like Blanc, will see him as one for the future.
