Kylian Mbappe’s Arsenal transfer stance

With the summer transfer window fast approaching, all eyes will likely fixate on the future of PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe. The forward is nearing the final few months of his contract with Les Parisiens, with plenty of teams linked for a potential swoop.

Arsenal are amongst those named, with the Gunners keen to add some firepower to their frontline in the near future. While a move for Mbappe may seem unlikely for the north London outfit, it isn’t totally impossible either.

According to the Independent, the Frenchman is open to a move to Arsenal, emulating the career of an idol of his, Thierry Henry. The chances remain slim though, with the financial package for the deal likely to be expensive.

Kieran Tierney drops Arsenal transfer hint

Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney has discussed his future amid uncertainty heading into the summer transfer window. The left-back has fallen out of favour under Mikel Arteta, leading to his loan spell with Real Sociedad.

The Scotland international is set to return in the months ahead though, which will bring more question marks over his future. Speaking to the Mail, Tierney said: “It’s hard to say [if I will feature for Arsenal again].

“I loved my time there and I still have two years on the contract. I am very grateful to Arsenal. I don’t know what’s going to happen but I am absolutely loving it here. I feel I have adapted quite well and I hope I can return the faith the club have shown.”
