What Kylian Mbappe did for PSG amid Real Madrid and Arsenal transfer rumours speaks volumes

Kylian Mbappe came off the bench to score in Paris Saint-Germain's 2-0 win over Nantes on Saturday evening.

The French superstar's contract at PSG expires in the summer and he has reportedly told the club he intends to leave at the end of the season. Real Madrid are said to be the front runners to sign Mbappe but, as you would expect, a number of Premier League sides are said to be monitoring the situation.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are just some of the clubs to have been mentioned. A move to the Gunners was tipped following Mikel Arteta's admission regarding the player on Friday.

«When there is a player of that calibre we always have to be in the conversation,» he boldly admitted before Arsenal's 5-0 win at Burnley. «But as you said it looks in a different way.»

PSG boss Luis Enrique left Mbappe on the bench at the Stade de la Beaujoire on Saturday evening in what was PSG's first match since Mbappe reportedly told the club of his intention to leave. Ousmane Dembele and Achraf Hakimi were also left out of PSG's starting line-up.

Mbappe was all smiles with boss Enrique as he waited to enter the action and was handed the captain’s armband after going on with 62 minutes played. With PSG 1-0 up thanks to a Lucas Hernandez strike, Mbappe was fouled in the penalty area and the France forward scored the penalty for his 26th goal in 28 games for his club this season.
