Arsenal set for sensational summer transfer move for free agent Rabiot who fans already love after PSG star snubbed Spurs in January
Frenchman is leaving PSG on a free transfer at the end of the season after letting his contract run down
ARSENAL could pull off the coup of the summer if they land Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot.
The Frenchman is leaving the Ligue 1 champions on a free transfer at the end of the season after letting his contract run down.
Rabiot is being frozen out of Thomas Tuchel's side following a contract stand-off.
The 23-year-old has started just 12 league matches and last featured in a seven-minute cameo against Red Star Belgrade on December 11.
And Arsenal boss Unai Emery is ready to take full advantage in an attempt to lure him to London, according to BBC Sport journalist David Ornstein.
The Spaniard knows Rabiot well from during their time together at PSG and Emery is confident of reigniting his career.

Emery is set to be handed a measly £40million summer transfer budget so the prospect of bolstering his side with Rabiot for nothing is a huge lure.
He is already a hit with Arsenal fans having reportedly turned down the chance to join North London rivals Tottenham.
The Arsenal boss was hopeful of signing a midfielder in January but was restricted to just loan signings.
They pushed for Rabiot's team-mate Christopher Nkunku and although PSG were keen to let him leave, they failed to find a replacement in time.
But the Gunners are expected to rekindle their interest in the summer as Emery aims to turn Arsenal into a top four side.
