Kylian Mbappe makes decision on club he prefers to join if Premier League transfer materializes: Reports
Kylian Mbappe would reportedly prefer to join Arsenal if he were to head to the Premier League.
According to The Independent's Miguel Delaney, Mbappe would be enticed by a move to the Gunners due to Mikel Arteta's project at the Emirates. The Frenchman would also relish the chance to deliver the north Londoners their first title since 2004.
This comes following claims that Liverpool had lodged a record-breaking €200 million bid for Mbappe. Delaney has played those claims down and instead suggests that Arsenal would be his Premier League club of choice.
The Gunners have been transformed by Arteta into title challengers and they missed out on league glory to Manchester City last season by five points. The Spanish coach's evolution of the club has seen Declan Rice and Kai Havertz head to north London this summer.
Kylian Mbappe's future is the subject of intense speculation after he informed PSG he wouldn't be extending his contract. However, Delaney claims that a move to Arsenal is unlikely due to the finances involved. There has been no contact between the 24-year-old and the Gunners.
Real Madrid are positioned as the favorites to seal Kylian Mbappe's signing after missing out on him last year. His current contract expires next year and he is set for talks with the Parisians to decide whether he will be made available for sale this summer.
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi was shocked by the Frenchman telling the Ligue 1 champions he wouldn't be extending his contract. He has insisted that the striker either renews his deal or leave as they don't want to lose him next summer for free.
Kylian Mbappe was yet again one of Europe's in-form forwards last season. He bagged 41 goals and 10 assists in 43 games across competitions.
