Arsenal have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot.
The Lowdown: Active in January?
The Gunners could well be busy in the transfer market in New Year following their excellent start to the season.
Mikel Arteta’s side currently hold a five-point advantage at the top of the Premier League but have been rocked by the news that star striker Gabriel Jesus could be missing for three months through injury.
A new forward could be on the agenda with links to Mykhailo Mudryk and it seems as if a new midfielder may also have potential over the coming weeks.
The Latest: Rabiot news
90min provided a transfer update regarding Rabiot on Thursday, with the 27-year-old thought to be keen on a move to England.
Their report states that the Gunners, along with numerous Premier League clubs, have been offered Rabiot’s services and are in regular contact with the player's representatives, with the Juventus man currently preparing for the World Cup Final on Sunday for France.
The Verdict: Why not…
Arsenal are still in three competitions heading into 2023, so will have plenty of football to play over the coming months.
Rabiot is out of contract at the end of the season and can play as a holding or central midfielder, with Arteta having just four senior options in those areas at this moment in time.
Therefore, a potential cut-price move for the player once labelled a "footballing giraffe" by Paolo Di Canio could be a smart idea from north London officials and one to watch alongside a marquee attacking signing.
