Tottenham Dealt Transfer Blow as Adrien Rabiot Rules Out Move in Fresh, Insulting Way

Adrien Rabiot is unlikely to join Tottenham because the north London club is considered to be 'below' the Frenchman's level, according to a source close to the player.

Rabiot has told Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Antero Henrique that he will not sign a new contract, indicating that he will leave the Parc des Princes either when his contract expires at the end of the season, or in January for a cut-price fee.

As a result, Rabiot has been 'indefinitely benched' and is unlikely to play for the French champions ever again.

Barcelona have confirmed that they are interested in signing Rabiot and have approached PSG, but they deny that any agreement has yet been reached.
