Adrien Rabiot

Paris Saint Germain star, Adrien Rabiot in a past statement have disclosed his desire to leave the French club at the end of the season with the hope of moving to another football league apart from the French Ligue 1.

Top football clubs like, Arsenal, Liverpool, Juventus, and Barcelona have shown their readiness to sign the 23-year-old star.

But recently, ESPN FC pundit, Steve Nikol disclosed that Adrien Rabiot doesn’t fit in well into Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp style of play.

He added that the 23-year-old plays at a slower pace than the current breeds of midfielders at Anfield, which shows he is a clear misfit for Liverpool.

According to Nicol, Liverpool need him but he is ‘not quite so sure he fits the dynamic closing down, chasing down, harrying, getting the ball,’ which are the traits of kind of players Jurgen Klopp likes to have at the midfield.

He, however, affirmed that Rabiot is a fantastic player that will grace any team in the world but his slow pace will affect him at Liverpool.

Going by his record at PSG, Rabiot has made a total of 214 appearances for the French giants, with 23 goals to his name.

And he has featured in seven games in all competitions for PSG this season.
