Paris Saint-Germain forward, Kylian Mbappe is reportedly willing to join Arsenal.
As reported by The Independent, Mbappe would be open to signing for Arsenal but the Gunners aren’t prepared to break their financial strategy to facilitate a deal.
Mbappe would be willing to join Arsenal as it would mean following in the footsteps of legendary fellow Frenchman Thierry Henry.
Henry scored a club record 228 goals for the Gunners and was a key part of the club’s famous Invincibles side that won the Premier League title in 2003-04 without losing a single game.
Mbappe has often been compared to Henry throughout his career, with both players having made their senior breakthrough at Monaco.
During his time at PSG, Mbappe has scored a hugely impressive 242 goals in 289 appearances.
This comes amid uncertainty over the future of Mbappe, whose PSG contract is set to expire at the end of June.
Mbappe has been heavily linked with a switch to Real Madrid but a move has yet to be finalised.
Mbappe’s entourage reportedly have doubts regarding Real Madrid’s contract offer.
Real’s proposal for Mbappe is believed to be less than what they offered when they previously attempted to sign him in 2022.
