Arsenal have been linked with £154m star Kylian Mbappe in the summer transfer window at the Emirates.
Arsenal signing Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe isn’t financially possible or viable at the Emirates. Daily Express journalist Ryan Taylor has told GIVEMESPORT.
Kylian Mbappe prefers Arsenal in the Premier League
Mbappe’s future in France is a little bit up in the air at the moment. And PSG’s president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has spoken about the former Monaco forward in a recent press conference.He said:
“Our position is very clear. If Kylian Mbappe wants to stay – we want him to stay – he needs to sign a new contract. We cannot let the best player in the world right now leave for free. That is impossible.”
According to the Independent’s Miguel Delaney, Mbappe may have a preference to join the Gunners. That is if he does ever end up joining a Premier League club.
Of course, Arsenal could now offer the superstar Champions League football. That is by having finished second last season if a move could materialise this summer. However, it seems very unlikely to happen now, as Taylor confims.
Spending £170m on one player seems highly unlikely, especially in the forward position. Mikel Arteta has plenty of attacking options already available to him. This is including Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Emile Smith Rowe, Martin Odegaard and Leandro Trossard in attack. As well as Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah and Folarin Balogun who can play through the centre.
Improving their midfield options and even defence will probably be the priority. That is if they do add to the signings of Havertz, Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber. Rather than bringing in reinforcements in attack. Kylian Mbappe dreams of playing for Real Madrid and that would be his likely destination this summer. Arsenal fans can still dream as he is a big admirer of Thierry Henry.
