Tottenham Hotspur are one of the clubs who are going into the summer transfer window with Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot on their radar.

The weekend’s result showed there is still room for improvement with Ange Postecogolou’s side after we slipped outside of the top four.

And now it seems as if an experienced midfielder is being eyed as a potential option to bolster the Australian’s side for next season.

Tottenham interested in Rabiot

According to a report from HITC, we are one of several Premier League clubs who are keen to bring in the 28-year-old Frenchman in the summer.

It is claimed the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle United are also in the picture for the decorated midfielder too.

We are also one of the clubs who have even held discussions with the player’s representatives over the last few months.

The midfielder’s current deal in Turin is set to expire in the summer which would leave him as a free agent.

Lloris rates Rabiot highly

Our midfield has taken a beating through injuries this season with almost all of our central midfielders missing time through injury issues.

So there is definitely a case to be made for this being an area to potentially be strengthened over the summer.

This also comes amid reports suggesting Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is of interest to Rabiot’s current club, Juventus.

Former Spurs captain Hugo Lloris previously played with Rabiot during his time in the France national side and he rates the midfielder highly: ‘He’s got the talent but also works incredibly hard, he covers a lot of ground,’ he said.

A number of years ago, it was reported Rabiot snubbed a potential move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as it being beneath him.

It would be interesting to see whether he would now consider a move to N17 of his level.
