ADRIEN RABIOT is reportedly a target for Tottenham after rejecting Paris Saint-Germain’s offers of a new deal.
The French midfielder, 23, is out of contract in the summer and free to talk to foreign clubs in January.
While the Mirror claims PSG have given up on trying to persuade academy graduate Rabiot to stick around.
Parc des Princes boss Thomas Tuchel has launched a charm offensive to try and change the six-cap French international mind.

But Spurs could land a bargain if they can persuade PSG to cash in – or pay nothing for a talented playmaker in June.
Mauricio Pochettino has admitted his interest in Monaco forward Keita Balde after he almost signed him for Tottenham last year.
He launched a move to bring Balde to the Premier League but the star opted for the South of France instead.
The Spurs chief remains a huge admirer of the ex-Lazio speedster – currently on loan at Inter Milan – despite being rejected by him.
Poch has been watching the attacker since he was a youngster in Barcelona’s academy.
And he insists he will always be interested in signing the forward if he becomes available.
