Adrien Rabiot is one of the players Arsenal has been linked with this transfer window, and the French midfielder remains a free agent.
Rabiot left Juventus at the end of last season, despite the Old Lady’s interest in keeping him. As one of the top free agents available, he has been in discussions with several clubs.
Arsenal is among the clubs that have tracked him over the years and now has the opportunity to sign him without a transfer fee. If he joins Mikel Arteta’s side, they would be acquiring one of the most experienced players available on a free transfer.
A report from Gazzetta dello Sport reveals that Rabiot’s preferred destination is the Premier League, and he has been in talks with several top English clubs. Arsenal is one of these clubs, and his representatives are hoping to finalise an agreement in the coming days.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Rabiot remains one of the best available free agents, and he will do a fine job for us, but he is already at the end of his career and might not guarantee so much for us in the long term.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.

Not that we have registered an interest, but will the Frenchman mom approve?
“End of his career”??
He’s a fair bit younger than Jorginho or Elneny
Well, he’s 29, Jorginho is 32 and Elneny doesn’t play for Arsenal anymore, so we won’t worry about his advancing years.
Although Rabiot would come without a fee, he wouldn’t come without wages, and I guess that these would be pretty substantial. He’d have no sell-on value at the end of his contract should he arrive at Arsenal so the only real benefit would be in any immediate impact he could make.
If Arsenal had received £1m for every “Rabiot to Arsenal” story in the media over the past few years, I think they could afford to buy Merino from the proceeds.
True lol
Just a matter of signing merino and David, it’s complete backup, instead of going for expensive options which are not even going to change anything
