Kylian Mbappe’s Response to Fan’s Arsenal Signing Request
Kylian Mbappe, the French superstar, looks set to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer, but Arsenal fans can forget about competing for his signature. The Gunners were in the mix to sign Mbappe when he left Monaco in 2017, but he opted to join PSG instead. With an impressive record of 169 goals in 199 Ligue 1 appearances, Mbappe is now expected to join Real Madrid after the upcoming European Championships.
Despite the likelihood of Mbappe joining Real Madrid, many Arsenal fans have dreamt of him following in the footsteps of Thierry Henry. Reports earlier this year suggested that if Mbappe were to move to the Premier League, Arsenal would be his preferred destination. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta welcomed the speculation, stating that the club needs the best talent to become the best team.
However, Arsenal will have to look elsewhere for attacking reinforcements as Mbappe outright rejected the idea of moving to the Emirates Stadium. In a video clip posted on Twitter, an Arsenal fan asked Mbappe to come to Arsenal, to which he responded with laughter and a comment about the cold weather in London.
Meanwhile, Arsenal is already making progress in strengthening their squad for next season. Sporting Director Edu revealed that significant progress has been made on the transfer front, with a new striker likely to be a priority for Arteta. Edu emphasized the importance of planning ahead and continuously improving the team.
As Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid seems imminent, Arsenal fans will have to wait and see who the club will sign to bolster their attacking options for the upcoming season. Despite missing out on Mbappe, Arsenal remains focused on building a competitive team capable of challenging for domestic and European honors.
