Late last week, Paris Saint-Germain’s Adrien Rabiot hinted at a potential move to England in an interview broadcast on French football show, Telefoot.

Edinson Cavani (Paris forward): “It’s not a disappointment”.
Arsene Wenger has lent support to Olivier Giroud following his weird red card during Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with PSG. “We just have to continue because we showed a lot of positive things”.
Three-time Europa league champ Emery was drafted in as the trade for Laurent Blanc in an offer to go on European accomplishment to Paris. With Petr Cech showing greater susceptibility at the near post in recent times, it may be worth a punt to put Ospina in goal for the Premier League matches, if only to just hand the Czech Republic global a reality check.
‘I can’t believe how we got away with it.
While we’re on the subject of Ospina, we must mention his incredible display. “It takes time to build a team, but whenever you don’t score a second goal when it’s 1-0, you’re always in danger”. If supporters were questioning Wenger for picking Ospina before the match, they were praising him afterwards.
“You’ve got Coquelin, you’ve got Xhaka on the bench. This is a great striker, one of the best in the world”, he said. Given his limited experience, though, Sanchez did okay.
He looked a different player when Wenger brought on Olivier Giroud and popped up with the equaliser.
It likely won’t stop Arsenal from advancing through to the Knockout Stage, but it’s another black mark against a player who is already on thin ice with his club’s fan base. Arsenal could even have left with all three points towards the end.
The Uruguayan, seeking to step up and assume the responsibility of leading the attack following the departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, was given the vote of confidence by PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi.
Many consider Monreal as one of the best left-backs in the Premier League – but he struggled massively against PSG.
However, without Ospina Arsenal could have been dead and buried after 45 minutes. Could Kieran Gibbs be pushing for a recall to the side?
Substitute Olivier Giroud and Marco Verratti were both sent off for second yellow cards after an off-the-ball incident in stoppage time, but Arsenal held on to for a valuable point.
They have Ospina to thank for the respectable 1-1 draw and Wenger will be thankful that his selection didn’t backfire.
