Hugo Lloris has hailed the technical ability of France teammate and Juventus star Adrien Rabiot, who’s reportedly a transfer target for Chelsea.
Rabiot scored during France’s opening win at this year’s World Cup and is a talented central midfielder linked with a potential move to Stamford Bridge.
Calciomercato reports that Chelsea would be willing to meet the wage demands of the 27-year-old Juventus player.
The left-footed central midfielder is currently out of contract with Juventus at the end of the season, so could he be in line for his first taste of Premier League football?
Adrien Rabiot ability
Lloris, who’s the France skipper and captain of Premier League side Tottenham, is clearly a massive admirer of his international teammate. In particular, he believes Rabiot possesses great technological skill.
“Technically he’s a very elegant player and he really can help us go far,” Lloris said.
“People have always talked about his ability and you can see how he’s been playing for Juventus. He’s got the talent but also works incredibly hard, he covers a lot of ground.”
Rabiot, who reportedly nearly joined Manchester United in the summer, is definitely a super talent that can shine on the biggest stage.
It does feel like the former Paris Saint-Germain star has really kicked on to the heights a player of his ability should.
His World Cup campaign started superbly with a goal and assist for France, so perhaps this next month could be huge for him.
With N’Golo Kante and Paul Pogba both missing for France at the World Cup, it’s an opportunity for some new names to make their mark in the centre of the pitch.
