According to RMC Sport, Yacine Adli has rejected Arsenal and ‘will sign for Paris Saint-Germain’ instead this summer, thanks to the intervention of Sports Director Antero Henrique. The Gunners have suffered an ‘unexpected turnaround’ as Adli was on the cusp of signing before reportedly having second thoughts, and now he has opted to stay in France.
It’s a major blow for Arsenal, having come so close to signing a gifted midfielder like Adli, but they’ll now have to turn their attentions elsewhere. The 17-year-old was a talented playmaker who was comfortable in possession and made light work of his opponents at youth level.
