With his contract expiring at the end of the season, there has been a lot of talk about what the future of Adrien Rabiot could look like, with clubs such as Arsenal reportedly interested.

We’ve covered a few reports about the Gunners being in the mix for a potential free transfer, and we get a new one on Monday courtesy of Fichajes.

The website have an article focusing on Mikel Arteta’s approval of the player, and why he wants him at Arsenal next season.

It’s said the London club have the Frenchman on a ‘list of candidates with a view of next season’, and despite the arrival of Jorginho from Chelsea, the Spanish manager ‘would have put the name of the 27-year-ld on the table’.

That’s because Arteta believes Rabiot ‘can show a better version’ of himself in the Premier League wearing an Arsenal shirt, and could end up being that ‘key player who manages the midfield’ at the Emirates in the 2023-24 season.

The midfielder himself has made it clear he wouldn’t mind giving England a go after playing for Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, and the potential free transfer on the table for the Gunners could be one too good to pass up, especially if their manager believes that much in the player.
