Arsenal could hand Chelsea a devastating blow in the summer transfer window this summer, with Mikel Arteta seemingly in a position to stifle Thomas Tuchel's Declan Rice backup plan. The West Ham midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, but his price tag has become a deterrent despite the Blues' intrigue in the 23-year-old.
And as a result, the west Londoners are said to have delved deeper into the market in search of alternatives for the Rice - one of whom is Adrien Rabiot, who sees his contract at Juventus expire in 12 months.
According to L'Equipe last month, via GFFN, the France international has asked to leave the Italian giants, with Chelsea, Manchester United and Newcastle interested. It's said that he's determined to leave Juventus, and the Old Lady have outlined an asking price in the region of £15million.
