Adrien Rabiot has been identified as one of the midfield targets for Tottenham in the upcoming summer window.
According to journalist Graeme Bailey, Spurs are in talks to secure the signature of France international for next season.
The central midfielder has less than six months remaining on his Juventus contract, which is set to expire at the end of June.
The prospect of signing someone of Rabiot’s profile on a free transfer has attracted several Premier League clubs, including the Lilywhites.
Speaking to The Spurs News, Graham Bailey confirmed that Spurs are pursuing a midfielder in the summer to replace Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, and Rabiot could be the one to fill the void left by the Danish midfielder.
The journalist stated:
“From what we’re hearing, they do want another midfielder in. We expect Hojbjerg to leave in the summer if they can find someone.
“Ange quite likes Hojbjerg, from I’m told, but in terms of his salary and standing in the squad, they’re ready to move on and so is he. I think if they’ve got a chance at a real worldie central midfielder, I think they’ll pull the trigger on it, I do.
“There are a few options out there, Rabiot on a free. They are in conversations and looking around. He’s one of the best free agents on the market and has had a brilliant season for Juventus.”
Meanwhile, the Old Lady is trying to convince the 28-year-old to sign a new deal and remain in Turin after Rabiot’s impressive performances this season.
The midfielder has made 22 appearances in the Serie A in the ongoing campaign, scoring four goals and providing three assists.
Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham’s manager, may find Rabiot’s midfield attributes appealing, given his reputation for blending technical skill with physical prowess.
