Premier League outfit Tottenham Hotspur were absolutely scintillating to watch during the last season in the English top division. The Lilywhites were the only side to mount serious pressure on Chelsea for grabbing the league silverware, and despite securing the second spot in the league table, they did make notable progress under the tutelage of Mauricio Pochettino and are undoubtedly under a manager with a vision.
However, the North London based outfit have been very silent in the ongoing summer transfer window. It goes without saying that Pochettino is seemingly likely to rely heavily on the personnel he had at his disposal the last term, but having said that, a club of their stature is anticipated to add a few faces this summer before the transfer window shuts down. Apparently, they have set their sight on Paris Saint-Germain’s midfielder Adrien Rabiot, as per one of the latest reports.
Rabiot is a player of significant calibre and despite being a central midfielder, he can even be engineered as a defensive midfielder as well as central attacking midfielder, his most intriguing features include the manner in which he positions himself perfectly, the way he knits a fine balance between his attacking and defensive endeavours and how he controls the ball with relative ease. The French international is physically very strong, technically sound and is clever enough to find pockets in the middle of the park for himself as well as for his teammates.
Rabiot is exquisite to watch owing to the manner in which he dictates the flow of the game and the impression of a sheer relentless engine he gives owing to the manner in which he constantly runs up and down the pitch with the intention to make an impact on the game. The 22-year-old was one of the finest players for the French giants in the previous campaign, as he accumulated 39 appearances to his name where he scored 4 goals and garnered 5 assists as well and no wonder he is so highly rated.
Premier League is a lucrative destination for players and having said that, the Frenchman would be an excellent addition to the armoury of Spurs. Besides, Premier League’s runners-up of last season will need depth in their squad, considering the fact that they would have domestic as well as Champions League commitments. Pochettino is a shrewd manager in deriving the best out of the young guns he has at his disposal and there is no reason why he would fail to do the same if he manages to make Rabiot sign on the dotted lines.
