North London club Tottenham could fight off interest from the likes of Arsenal, to sign PSG youngster Adrien Rabiot, with a deal very close to being completed according a journalist and commentator from BeIN Sports that has broken the news on Twitter, saying that the deal is very close.
The midfielder has been very heavily linked with a move to North London, but not Spurs, reports from the last few weeks have suggested that he could be putting on an Arsenal shirt until the end of the season. This is what the journalist has said on Twitter.
#PSG‘s Rabiot set to join #THFC on 6-month loan w/o option to buy (Gazzetta). Lots of competition for places, but I’d expect him to do well

Telling that #PSG seemingly wont include option to buy. Rabiot may yet have future in Paris if Blanc (who’s fed up with him) gets boot #THFC

He says interestingly that there will be no option to buy at the end of the season for Spurs, assuming this stands for everybody interested. This is because PSG seems keen to get their youngster some first team minutes elsewhere, but get him back at the end of the season. Liverpool were very interested in the youngster.
Will Adrien Rabiot be Tottenham’s first signing of the January transfer window?
