Mikel Arteta has openly acknowledged Arsenal’s interest in potentially signing Kylian Mbappe, as the French superstar prepares to depart Paris Saint-Germain this summer. Mbappe, set to become a free agent in July, has opted not to extend his contract with PSG, prompting speculation about his next destination.
While Real Madrid remains the frontrunner for Mbappe’s signature due to their longstanding admiration for the player and his desire to join Los Blancos, Arsenal has emerged as a possible alternative. Recent reports suggest that Mbappe would be willing to consider a move to Arsenal, with the club’s history and the allure of following in the footsteps of Thierry Henry cited as factors that appeal to him.
Henry, an iconic figure at Arsenal, holds a special place in Mbappe’s admiration, having enjoyed a remarkable career at the club. With 377 appearances and 228 goals to his name, Henry’s influence could potentially play a role in enticing Mbappe to join the Gunners in 2024.
