Arsenal line up world-record bid for star 18-year-old – report
Arsenal are preparing a world-record £125m bid for Monaco starlet Kylian Mbappe, according to reports
Arsenal are preparing to go all out and make a huge £125m bid for Monaco star Kylian Mbappe this summer, according to reports in the British media.
The Daily Mirror is reporting that Arsene Wenger is ready to smash the world transfer record in an attempt to try and bring the 18-year-old to The Emirates this summer.
The same story says that Wenger has personally spoken to Mbappe’s father Wifried to explain that the striker would struggle for game-time at Real Madrid should he move to The Bernabeu this summer, and that he would be first choice at Arsenal.
Mbappe has emerged as one of European football’s hottest prospects after he helped to fire Monaco to the Ligue 1 title last season.
Arsenal continue to be linked with a host of players this summer but they have so far only signed left-back Sead Kolasinac from Schalke.
The north London side do not have the lure of Champions League football next season after the Gunners missed out on a top-four finish in the Premier League last term.
Arsenal did finish the season on a positive note after a 2-1 win against Premier League champions Chelsea in the FA Cup final at Wembley.
