The talented midfielder will instead commit his future to current club Paris Saint-Germain.

Arsenal were hopeful that new boss Unai Emery would be able to persuade Adli to join him across the Channel.

But according to RMC, the 17-year-old talent has had a last-minute change of heart.

Adli had been spotted in London earlier on Thursday, boosting speculation he was ready to join the Emirates outfit.

Reports in France now indicate that he is ready to pen a new three-year-old with the Ligue 1 champions.

Arsenal’s head of recruitment, Sven Mislintat, had been behind the touted move for Adli.

It’s believed the Gunners would have paid £223,000 compensation fee to land the France Under-18 international.

According to ESPN, PSG sporting director Antero Henrique persuaded Adli that his future lies with the Ligue 1 champions at Parc des Princes.

Adli was not swayed to stick with PSG because of the promise of a loan during the 2018-19 campaign.

New PSG manager Thomas Toucher’s specific efforts to convince the gifted youngster to stay appear to have paid dividends.

Former Gunner Robert Pires had backed Adli to be a success in north London should he complete a move ahead of the 2018/19 campaign.

“He’s a talented player,” Pires said earlier this month. “He has very good qualities, very fast with the ball. Sometimes he can score.

“I know Unai Emery likes this player. I don’t know what’s happened the last two days, but if he joins Arsenal, I think he will be a good player for the new squad.

“He’s young and it’s very difficult to leave your family, your country and find new players, new football and a new philosophy.

“It’s very difficult, very tough, that adaption. But I know Arsenal is like a family, so if he wants, he can make a success of his career at Arsenal.”
