Adrien Rabiot is one of the classiest midfielders in Europe. Despite only being 23 years of age, he has impressed many with his elegant playmaking and intelligent nous in the centre of the park. In many ways he is a throwback to a more refined era.
That's not to say he can't hack the blood and thunder of the modern game. The French international is blessed with impressive stamina and covers plenty of ground as he supplements the attack and tracks back diligently. https://twitter.com/PSG_inside/status/981093489244016640 But his future at PSG remains in doubt. Amid fervent rumours that Barcelona are keen to add him to their midfield next season, the player has admitted that his future may lie elsewhere. When asked directly by Canal, he was non-committal: "I don’t know. We will see. For now, I want to enjoy every moment and every trophy with my club." But he's far clearer about his preferred destination. That's because Rabiot was obsessed with Liverpool Football Club as a child and would much rather join the Reds than head to Camp Nou: "I would love to play in the Premier League...I was very fond of Liverpool when I was young." On Wednesday night, as his boyhood club thrashed Manchester City 3-0 in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, the Parisian ace couldn't help but fanboy over the atmosphere in and around Anfield. https://twitter.com/Paris1970__/status/981623502607470592 But this didn't go down well amongst his own fans. Indeed, he was forced to delete his Instagram story - but not until Liverpool fans had spotted it and shared it in excitement. Emre Can replacement anyone? https://twitter.com/Omzlfc/status/981660694834827267 https://twitter.com/declan_corcoran/status/981827029560713216 https://twitter.com/evajones33/status/981812840288980992 https://twitter.com/baldypaul/status/981823092619120640England fans face being kicked out of stadium for chants during World Cup
