Arsenal open talks over deal for Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot?

Arsenal have allegedly opened negotiations regarding a potential deal for Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot.

Despite only being in his first campaign at the Italian giants, it has been widely speculated that the former Paris Saint-Germain man could be sold during the next transfer window.

A number of Premier League clubs have been linked with the Frenchman, including Manchester United, Everton and Newcastle United.

However, according to Le 10 Sport, Arsenal have made their move to secure the signature of the 25-year-old.

The report adds that the Gunners would have to pay in excess of £26m in order for Juventus to entertain a sale, although club officials will be keen to get Rabiot's wages off the books as soon as possible.

The player has made just 16 starts and eight substitute outings in all competitions this season.
