Tottenham Hotspur want to sign Paris-Saint Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot in a £20million move this month.
The Sun reports that the deal hinges on whether the French champions can bring in Idrissa Gueye from Everton as a replacement.
PSG are keen to avoid letting Rabiot leave for free in the summer, but they may not let him leave the club unless they have secured a midfielder to fill the void which Rabiot would leave in their squad.
The French international was recently banished to the reserves by manager Thomas Tuchel after refusing a new contract at the Parc des Princes.
According to the report, Mauricio Pochettino has already spoken to the 23-year-old about the possibility of joining Spurs and Daniel Levy is ready to sanction a £20million deal.
If Rabiot were to make the switch, he would become Tottenham’s first signing since they brought in Lucas Moura, also from PSG on 31st January of last year.
