Arsenal are now showing significant interest regarding a deal which Mikel Arteta believes could really benefit the dynamics of his side.

The Gunners have already signed Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna – after also making David Raya’sꦜ loan move a permanent deal꧙.

Ars🌼enal are also close to signing Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad in a £20m move.

Now – however – Arsenal are giving serious consideꦛration to signing another central midfielder too…

Arsenal seriously considering Adrien Rabiot

A story from now claims that Arsenal are seriously considering a move to sign Adrien Rabiot.

The France international – who lifted the World Cup in 2018 – is currently looki♔ng for a new club after deciding to leave Juventus in July upon the expiry of his contract.

Tutto Juve believe Arsenal are noꦛw showing significant interest 🧜in bringing Rabiot to the Emirates Stadium, as Arteta feels the 29-year-old could offer experience and stability to what is quite a young squad of players.

The Italian news outlet add that Live🌃rpool are also considering a move for the Frenchman,🍷 who scored five goals and provided three assists in 31 Serie A appearances last season.

Tutto Juve 🎀also believe Real Madrid are interested, which is where a problem could linger for Arsenal based on rumours elsewhere.

Mikel Arteta needs to be very convincing

As aforesaid, Real Madrid pose a real threat to Arsenal in the battle for Rabiot’s signature, 🥂based on what have reported.

The Italian news outlet have recently claimed that Rabiot wants to join Real Madrid this summer, as he🧸 has been dreaming of a move 🦄to the Santiago Bernabeu for some time now.

Despite the mi🌼dfie♏lder’s stance, Arsenal could still end up signing him.

Carlo Ancelotti already has Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, Jude Bellingham, Luka Modric, Federico Valverde and Dani Ceballos to ch♏oose from in central midfield, so Rabiot may feel he has a better chance of regular playing time at Arsenal.
