Kylian Mbappe gives Arsenal chance to complete Arsene Wenger's six-year transfer mission

Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe has given Arsenal a chance to complete Arsene Wenger's failed six-year transfer mission. The French striker is one of the best players in the world and has informed PSG that he does not intend to extend his current contract which expires next summer.

The 24-year-old was the third-top scorer in Europe's top five leagues last term with 29 goals, only behind Harry Kane (30) and Erling Haaland (36). PSG are said to be furious with Mbappe's shock decision and do not want to lose their star striker without receiving a significant transfer fee - meaning they could be forced to sell him ahead of next season or risk the player running down his contract.

Whilst Arsenal may not be in the best position financially to compete against the likes of Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United for Mbappe's signature - they are an attractive proposition for any player at present. Mikel Arteta's side came very close to winning their first Premier League title since 2004 last term as they now prepare for a return to the Champions League.
