Arsenal 'preparing January bid for Adrien Rabiot'

Arsenal are lining up an offer for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot when the transfer window re-opens in January, reports suggest.

The 20-year-old requested a loan move for the winter window after growing dissatisfied with his game time but according to French site BuzzSport, Les Parisiens are now contemplating offloading him in a permanent deal.

The Gunners have been repeatedly linked with the French U21 international but are thought to be exploring their options more keenly following injuries to Santi Cazorla and Francis Coquelin.

London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Serie A contenders Roma are also monitoring the situation.
