Kylian Mbappe's comments on Arsene Wenger speak volumes after Arsenal transfer meeting

Kylian Mbappe has previously spoken highly of Arsene Wenger amid rumours of a possible move to Arsenal.

The France World Cup winner's contract at Paris Saint-Germain is coming to end amid intense speculation about his future. It is not yet clear whether Mbappe intends to stay on with the French champions as he is certain to have other options.

Arsenal attempted to sign Mbappe before his move to PSG in 2017, with a bid of 100million (£87m) being rejected by Monaco. Despite this, Wenger still managed to meet with Mbappe and left a lasting impression on him.

In a past chat with The Telegraph, Mbappe said: «Yes, I met with Arsene Wenger, who is a great coach. He has a great reputation here in France, he's well-respected and knows how to develop young players. This was a real option for me.
