ADRIEN RABIOT has put Arsenal and Tottenham on red alert by ending talks about a new deal with Paris Saint-Germain.
The stylish midfielder is out of contract at the end of the season and the Ligue 1 champions are keen to extend his stay at the Parc des Princes.
Talks about his future have been tricky between PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and his agent and mother Veronique Rabiot.
And French radio station in France claim the 23-year-old has called off talks about a new contract and will quit the club at the end of the season.
PSG demanded the French international make his mind up on a new deal by the end of last week.
Rabiot responded and informed the club there is no point discussing fresh terms.
Latest Arsenal news
The news has caught the attention of the North London pair who are keen to bolster their midfield options.
Gunners boss Unai Emery knows all about Rabiot after working with him for two years at PSG before his exit last summer.
And both could tempt the French outfit to do business in January knowing they will lose the six-cap French international for nothing next year.
Rabiot was not part of Thomas Tuchel’s squad for Sunday’s draw at Bordeaux.
And his absence has sparked speculation Tuchel is already planning for life after the PSG academy graduate who made his first-team debut in 2012.
