The 18-year-old France international is considered the hottest prospect in world football and one of the best players for a generation.
urope’s biggest clubs are falling over themselves to try to sign him — but so far no one has made any official contact.
However, reports strongly suggest that the Gunners are keen on battling Real Madrid and PSG, both with strong financial clouts, for the 18-year-old’s signature.
The Daily Mirror are reporting that Arsenal are set to go all out within the coming days to try and pip the Champions League winners for his services.
Mbappe is one of the hottest young properties in Europe after an explosive season saw him fire in 26 goals to help his side win the Ligue 1 title.
Arsene Wenger is hoping that his French connections can help persuade the hotshot to join him at Arsenal.
He has already held talks with the striker’s father.
However, the Daily Mail report PSG have made a world-record £120million offer, which Real Madrid are expected to match.
Mbappe removed any mention of Monaco from his social media accounts, while even the Ligue 1 champions’ boss Leonardo Jardim revealed he was prepared for the worst.
He said: “I have not spoken to him. But we hope he stays with us.
“I believe he and the club will make the best decision.
“Every manager in the world wants to keep his best players, but it’s not always possible.
“Right now, it’s important to think 100 per cent about work, help young players grow and then see type of player he can become.”
