Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is ready to return to football and has four offers on the table, according to the Times.

They report that one of the offers is the opportunity to become director of football at Paris Saint Germain, while there are international and club management chances as well.

But if he were to take up the role at Paris Saint Germain, one of the top tasks he would face immediately is dealing with the future of wantaway midfielder Adrien Rabiot.

Spanish outlet Sport recently reported that Arsenal were keen on signing silky playmaker Rabiot, but the same publication also claims that their bitter north London rivals Tottenham are also in the hunt.

And if Wenger did take up the job at PSG, it would be surprising if he didn’t give Rabiot a steer towards the Emirates Stadium rather than choosing his long-term rivals.

Rabiot will be highly sought-after in the summer, but if it comes down to a battle between the two north London rivals, Wenger’s presence at PSG gives Arsenal the advantage.

So the Gunners must hope that their former manager shuns the opportunity to get back into the day-to-day of management and takes up a role behind the scenes in his homeland.
