Arsenal has submitted a stunning €100million (£87million) bid for Monaco starlet, Kylian Mbappe.
According to French daily, L’Equipe, Arsene Wenger is ready to kick-off his summer spending with a world-record bid for the 18-year-old, who scored 25 goals in Ligue 1 last season.
If the deal happens, it would be more than double Arsenal’s record signing of Mesut Ozil worth £42.5million.
Wenger signed a new two-year deal with the club on Wednesday and is ready to add top quality to his squad, ahead of the 2017/2018 season where they will play in the Europa League.
On the same day, Mbappe insisted he was not afraid to leave the Ligue 1 champions.
“Why play less? I’ll have time to reflect on that and no, I’m not afraid to leave.
“The advice of [Deschamps] counts. That will not guide my choice, but it will count.
“I do not think I will go to his office to ask. But there’s plenty of time to think about all this. There are important matches for Frances,” the France forward said.
