Football Express News understands that Paris Saint Germain are ready to accept a £7m bid from Chelsea for Adrien Rabiot.

Just one month after selling Brazilian defender David Luiz to French side PSG for £50m, Chelsea are ready to send some cash back to the Ligue 1 side after making a bid for youngster Rabiot.

The French U21 international has struggled to break past the likes of Yohan Cabaye, Blaise Matuidi and Marco Verratti in terms of a starting place and it has been expected that the young midfielder would move on this summer.

Jose Mourinho’s side have already strengthen this summer with the additions of Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa but the Portuguese coach wants to continue his summer spending and build a fresh look squad for next season.

PSG boss Laurent Blanc is reportedly desperate to persuade the youngster to remain with the club, but it is understood by our sources that a deal worth £7m is now likely to be accepted.
