Three Ideal Premier League destinations for Adrien Rabiot

Paris Saint-Germain have opened the door for midfielder Adrien Rabiot to move elsewhere, with Premier League clubs and Barcelona interested. The 23-year-old has previously mentioned his desire to move to England and play in the most intense league.

Rabiot is a fantastic player with the required tools to become a key player in any club. He has the propensity to dominate the midfield with incisive passing, great ball retention and an acute eye for picking out crucial through balls. The 23-year-old can play in various positions, which makes him different from others.

Let us take a look at three ideal Premier League destinations to which the Frenchman can go and make a difference:

Arsenal

Arsenal are reportedly after the 23-year-old in order to strengthen their midfield department under Unai Emery. The Gunners manager has already worked with the player in Paris, so it won’t be a problem for both of them to gel.

Arsenal need a central midfielder who can be creative and also cover spaces for defending when not in possession, and Rabiot fits that bill perfectly. The Frenchman possesses the ability to be precisely good on the ball and track back when required to help out the defence.

In Emery’s coveted 4-3-3 system, Rabiot can play as one of the two No.8s. His height allows him to be a threat from set-pieces, which is an added advantage for the Gunners.

Chelsea

Paris Saint-Germain have expressed their interest to sign N’Golo Kante from Chelsea, so the Blues need a replacement for the Frenchman if he leaves. In Rabiot, they can get a player who can slot in as a defensive midfielder and dictate the tempo of the play.

Although he is not going to be a like-to-like successor for Kante, the 23-year-old has the ability to bring his own unique and effective game to Stamford Bridge. He possesses a fantastic eye for picking a long diagonal ball to switch the play, which will be useful in counter-attacking situations.

Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs need a holding midfielder to cover for the departure of Mousa Dembele and injury-laden Victor Wanyama and have already targeted Rabiot to sort that position out. Mauricio Pochettino will love a player of his quality to come in and make the difference.

The Frenchman can play a high-intensity game and also possess a fabulous ability to control the game according to his own pace. For that reason, he can become a key component of the Spurs squad, as they need someone who can just take the game in their own hands.
