How Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are affected by huge Kylian Mbappe Real Madrid transfer snub

Kylian Mbappe has performed a career U-turn, reportedly agreeing in principle to stay at Paris Saint-Germain rather than move to Real Madrid. The striker appeared intent on sealing a move to the Bernabeu this summer but is now set to remain in the French capital for another three years.

Mbappe has scored 25 goals and provided 19 assists in Ligue 1 this season so it is easy to see why the likes of Madrid are so eager to sign him this summer. He was signed by PSG in the summer of 2018 for £130million following a season on loan from Monaco and the French giants will be desperate not to lose him on a free transfer.

As such, the Qatari-backed club have made Mbappe an astronomical offer that could have a similar inflationary effect on the world of football as Neymar's transfer to the club did back in 2017. It could even leave the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham feeling the effects for years to come.
