Adrien Rabiot has been transfer-listed by Marseille, and Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to sign him.
As per Fabrice Hawkins, they have opened talks with the representatives of the 30-year-old French international regarding a summer move. It will be interesting to see if they come forward with an official offer for Marseille. They have been linked with Rabiot in the past as well.
Aston Villa are interested in the player as well. The 30-year-old has been put up for sale by the French club, following his unprofessional behaviour. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham decide to proceed with their interest in him.
Manchester United have been linked with Rabiot in recent days.
Spurs could use Adrien Rabiot
They need physicality and technical ability in the midfield, and the 30-year-old is certainly a quality player. He has played for big clubs in his career, and he has shown that he is capable of doing well in the Premier League. However, his controversial nature could be a problem. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham decide to take a gamble on him.

Aston Villa could use more quality in the midfield as well, and Rabiot will certainly help them improve. The move to the Premier League could be an exciting opportunity at this stage of his career. He has shown his quality in multiple countries, and he will look to prove his quality in England as well.
Given the fact that Marseille want to get rid of him, Tottenham and Aston Villa will hope to sign him for a reasonable amount of money. He could prove to be a bargain acquisition for both clubs.
A player of his quality deserves to compete at the highest level. But he will need to sort out his attitude problems in order to thrive at a top club. On paper, he could be the ideal partner for Joao Palhinha at Spurs.
