Arsenal fans in the Transfer Tavern are on high spirits following last night’s dramatic victory over Leicester City, which saw the Gunners keep their faint hopes of a top-four finish alive.
Arsene Wenger’s side now sit six points behind third-placed Liverpool, boasting two games in hand, but face a difficult run of fixtures over the next two weeks as they travel to White Hart Lane on Sunday to face Tottenham Hotspur, before hosting Manchester United the following week.
Whatever the scenario for Arsenal at the end of the season, it’s clear that major improvements to the squad are needed and Wenger has handed fans a boost by confirming his side’s interest in one of Europe’s most highly-coveted star.
Quoted by The Daily Mail, Wenger said to SFR Sport:
‘Of course [we’re targeting Mbappe]. It would be hypocritical and a lie to say we’re not following him. But he’s perhaps already in the category of clubs who perhaps have more financial potential than us.’
Kylian Mbappe has enjoyed a storming season with Monaco, helping to fire the French principality side to the semi-finals of the Champions League, where they’ll face Juventus next week.
The teenager’s excelling performances have seen a wealth of top sides interested in his services and our landlord believes Arsenal don’t have any hopes of sealing a deal, as he believes Mbappe will move for an extortionate figure.
Is there any hope of Kylian Mbappe moving to Arsenal? Let us know in the comments below!
