Tottenham Hotspur have entered the race to sign Adrien Rabiot from Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports.
It has been suggested Rabiot, the midfielder, could leave French football this summer due to the abuse he may receive playing in his homeland next season.
This abuse stems from the mass outrage that occurred when Rabiot announced his refusal to be named on Didier Deschamps’ reserve list for the France squad for this summer’s World Cup.

France Football say Rabiot’s representative, who just so happens to be his mother, has been working on his departure from the Parc des Princes, with Barcelona and Juventus named as potential destinations.
However, the same report claims Tottenham have entered the race for the 23-year-old, with Mauricio Pochettino viewing him as a potential replacement for Mousa Dembele, who is expected to leave north London this summer.
Internazionale of Milan are said to be tracking Dembele, the Belgium midfielder, with Pochettino reportedly deciding in May to sell the soon-to-be 31-year-old.
