Kylian Mbappe: What are Arsenal's chances of hijacking Mbappe from Real Madrid?

Kylian Mbappe has been the focus of attention for the whole footballing world in recent times. As per The Associated Press, Mbappe has already informed PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi that he will leave the club this summer.

Real Madrid have been pursuing the French star for a few years now and Mbappe also showed interest in a possible move to the Spanish club. However, the same sources say that he hasn't made any decision on his destination.

Hence, a lot of top-tier clubs will join the race to sign him. As per Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, the Gunners will be one of them. He recently said, “When there is a player of that caliber we always have to be in the conversation.”

He also vaguely referred to how Los Blancos currently have the most probability of signing him. He added, “But it looks to be in a different way.” Considering Arsenal's recent run of form, they're certainly a top contender.

Arteta said, “Everybody wants to play for Arsenal. At least the players we have held discussions with, they always have that smile on their face the moment you open the door and start to have that discussion.”

Arteta is not wrong, especially in Mbappe's case since he can be a perfect addition to the team. The 25-year-old will fit perfectly with the young squad that needs another attacker in their midst to give the Gunners that extra push.

Additionally, the Premier League is arguably one of the best leagues in the world. He will have the chance to go toe-to-toe against big teams and their players. However, the chances of Arsenal signing Mbappe are still very slim.

The money Real Madrid will be willing to spend on Mbappe can blow the Gunners out of the water. Mbappe could become one of the highest-paid players in Europe at Real Madrid and Arsenal don't have the financial backing to match that.
