ADRIEN RABIOT

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot could be readying himself for a move away from the Ligue 1 giants amid concerns over the progress of his new deal.

According to L’Equipe, Rabiot is yet to begin discussions with his current deal expiring next year and it’s put the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham on alert.

RATING: 6/10

VERDICT

Sounds like Rabiot is trying to give PSG a bit of a kick up the backside to get the wheels in motion for a new deal but it’s not the first time his name has crept up over a potential exit.

He’s talked up challenging himself in the Premier League in recent weeks and is a known Liverpool fan which could stand them in good stead if they wanted to make a move.

DAVID BROOKS

Liverpool and Arsenal will lock horns for the signature of Sheffield United star David Brooks, reports the Mirror.

The 20-year-old is a £10million target of both Premier League clubs following a string of impressive performances for the Championship side.

RATING: 6/10

VERDICT

The term wonderkid gets bandied about far too often but Wales international Brooks has emerged as one of English football’s brightest young talents over the last 15 months.

Klopp is thought to be leading the chase but will face stern competition for the midfielder.

HARRY KANE

Tottenham value striker Harry Kane at north of £200million, reports the Times.

Real Madrid have been linked with a move in recent weeks but Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is adamant the England international is worth more than the price PSG paid to sign Neymar.

RATING: 7/10

VERDICT

It’s hard to disagree with this valuation. Kane is truly among the world’s best players now, whether it’s fashionable to agree with that or not, and if the likes of Madrid do come circling then it should take a massive fee to sign him.

Remains to be seen if any club would be prepared to stump up that type of fee, especially given Levy’s reputation as a tough negotiator.
