KYLIAN MBAPPE could snub the likes of Manchester United and Real Madrid in order to play under Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.
A close relative has been quoted in French media as saying that France’s latest star would love to work with the legendary Gunners boss and could move to the Emirates just for that opportunity alone.
Mbappe is one of the most sought-after players this summer following an incredible breakthrough season at Monaco.
The versatile attacker scored 26 goals in all competitions as his side won their first Ligue 1 title since 2000.
But Mbappe could now end up at Arsenal despite also being chased by Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.
According to a family member, even the lack of Champions League football wouldn’t be a problem – as long as Wenger is in charge.
Le Parisien via quotes them as saying: “Wenger is one of the greats. If Kylian signs for Arsenal tomorrow, it will be for him.
