Arsenal told to splash out a world-record £130m to land AS Monaco’s Kylian Mbappe

Arsenal are still reportedly chasing the marquee signing of France international starlet Kylian Mbappe, according to France Football.

The Premier League side, who finished fifth in the English top-flight standings last term, have been heavily linked with a move for the highly-rated AS Monaco hitman this summer.

The 18-year-old, who has four senior international caps already for his country, scored a remarkable 26 goals and provided 14 assists in 44 appearances in all competitions for the Ligue 1 champions last season.

Mbappe, who is also attracting interest from Premier League rivals Liverpool, French giants Paris Saint-Germain and La Liga’s Real Madrid, has netted 27 times in just 58 games overall for Monaco.

However, the report claims the star striker held a three-hour meeting with Gunners boss Arsene Wenger back in mid-June, following France’s international friendly versus England, about a potential switch to North London ahead of the 2017-18 campaign.

Arsenal have already had a £87m bid rejected for the French gem, and have been told to splash out a whopping world-record fee of £130m for his services.
