Reports originally suggested that Rabiot was heading to London with his agent to thrash out negotiations.

Arsene Wenger refused to be drawn into speculation over whether Arsenal would land Rabiot in his press conference on Friday.

But French paper L'Equipe claims Roma are the frontrunners for the 19-year-old's signature.

It is thought Rabiot has been given the go ahead to join Roma who have the upper hand in talks.

They also managed to convince PSG to let Rabiot leave the Parc des Princes with an £11.9million offer.

Rabiot's contract expires next summer.
