As reported by The Daily Mirror, Arsene Wenger is going all out in his efforts to sign Monaco superstar Kylian Mbappe this summer.
What’s the story?
Nobody is generating as many transfer rumours as Mbappe this summer due to the belief he has the potential to become one of the best players on the entire planet.
Football fans across the continent are desperate for him to sign for their team and Arsenal fans have more reason than most to get excited.
The Mirror report that Wenger has made a personal plea to Mbappe’s father, giving assurances that the player will get the first-team football he needs to develop if he joins Arsenal.
The paper say that’s ahead of a stunning £125m bid for the player this week.
Hot property
Mbappe is one of the hottest properties in world football right now after a sensational season for Monaco. At just 18 years old and with 26 goals in all competitions, including eight in the UEFA Champions League, he has a massive future ahead of him.
That kind of firepower could set Arsenal up for a sustained period of success as he matures and grows into an even more accomplished player.
With the future of Alexis Sanchez in doubt due to his contract situation, Gunners fans could potentially need a new long-term hero to get behind and Mbappe fits the bill. He could be the difference between Premier League mediocrity and a title challenge next season.
