Hi Ed002, Juventus trying to offload Rabiot, do you see Arsenal interested?

{Ed002's Note - Adrian Rabiot (CM) Juventus are looking to replace their midfield misfits (Arthur, McKennie, Ramsey and Rabiot) before the start of the season. They are looking to fund replacements they have already identified. Rabiot will, like every other player, be offered to Newcastle. A third party has been instructed to find him a new home and he can be used in part exchanges. He has been offered to Chelsea as part of a deal for any of several Chelsea players Juventus are interested in, but Chelsea want to keep transfers as clean as possible and may make a cash offer. With Manchester United struggling to find midfield players, he becomes a squad option. A return to PSG is seen as an option but PSG will have preferred targets. Approaches have been made to Barcelona - but they will look to others, and Arsenal who have a much preferred target. Everton, Newcastle and Spurs may provide unlikely options.}

Ed, as always your knowledge is greatly appreciated, we’re getting some great insight of late.
I’ve two questions if you have the time to indulge.
Firstly, are you aware who this preferred midfield target is? I expect it’s Tielemans but after the Vieira deal who knows what’s in the works?
Secondly, and I appreciate you hate these speculative questions, but are you aware if there’s any merit to the reports that Arsenal are in a position to spend the type of money that would see all 5 rumoured targets (Jesus, Raphina, Vieira, Lisandro and Tielemans) sign for the club?
Again, I know you dislike these questions that are open to speculation, it’s just Ornstein and Romano have been quite vocal. I just prefer to hear it here before I take it seriously as acquiring all those players would represent a serious window and mean a massive push to get more players out to recoup part of that outlay.
Thanks in advance and enjoy your weekend.

{Ed002's Note - (a) Tes, Tielemans. (b) No.}

What a bird brain I am! I've just spent half an hour researching a player called Tes!
