Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are both chasing Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot but could face competition from Real Madrid, according to varied reports.

What's the word?

Arsenal have been linked with a move for young French midfielder Adrien Rabiot for a while and it appears a move could materialise this summer, with The Daily Mail reporting the 21-year-old is ready to consider offers from other top-sides.

First making a breakthrough into the first-team in 2012, Rabiot has impressed for Paris Saint-Germain in the following five years and also made his international debut for France in a friendly against the Ivory Coast in November.

With his vast success in France, winning four consecutive Ligue 1 titles, two French Cups and three French League Cups, Rabiot could seek new challenges elsewhere- but Arsenal will face competition from Real Madrid for his services.

What was said?

Addressing the reports linking him with a move across Europe, he told Europe 1:

'I am under contract until 2019 and I do not think I am in a rush. Honestly, I am not thinking about that. If there are offers from big clubs, that obviously demands that they are considered.'

'Clubs like Real Madrid, they are truly great clubs but, truly, the most important thing is the present and I am concentrating on what I am doing right now, that is the best thing to do.'

What about Spurs?

As well as battling Real Madrid for Rabiot's services, Arsenal will also face competition from just around the corner in North London as The Daily Mirror states Tottenham Hotspur are considering a fresh move for Rabiot's signature.

Two years ago, Spurs had a loan bid for Rabiot turned down by the French giants and Mauricio Pochettino is ready to revisit the situation again this summer- although this time a permanent transfer could be on the cards.

With two-years left on his PSG deal, any interested party will have to pay a pretty sum and that could be decisive when discussions about a transfer come around.
