Anderton told SportingBet: “Rabiot would be a fantastic addition to the Tottenham team, but he is going to have his pick of most top clubs,” added Anderton.
“Rabiot is a top draw player, if he came to Spurs, he would fit in with the way that Spurs play very easily.
“He has got so much ability, so much awareness. He passes the ball beautifully. He is a player I really rate and would love to see at the club.”
Opinion
Rabiot would be a fantastic signing for Tottenham, especially on a free transfer. However, with some of Europe’s big guns also holding an interest it will be difficult for the club to try and compete with the wages that some will offer Rabiot.
