10 Summer 2017 Football Transfer Sagas We're Most Excited For
2. Kylian Mbappe To Arsenal
Okay, one quick, little mention for Alexis Sanchez as Kylian Mbappe could be the man to replace him. That's it though, no more mentions of Alexis Sanchez.
With similarities in playing style to Arsenal legend Theirry Henry, it's fair to say that even the Wenger Out brigade would be silenced if they manage to secure Mbappe. Last season for Monaco, he was on another level. Across all competitions, his goal scoring ratio was just over one in every two games, phenomenal stuff for a player so young he can't remember ever watching an episode of The Big Breakfast.
Such talent brings even more interest though and Real Madrid are reported to be sniffing around the French international which could spark a bidding war. Good job Arsene Wenger loves to spend then! Oh, wait...
Actually, this could be where Arsene finally pleases those who say he should splash the cash, given how good Mbappe is and how likely it is that he will blossom even further. Even if they have to pay north of £60 million, the amount of years he could give to the club could see him be worth every penny.
No Champions League football for Arsenal could be a deal breaker here but the chance to keep developing will less pressure on his young shoulders may be of interest to Mbappe.
