We all know that Arsenal aren’t adverse to cherry-picking some of the best youth players in world football. Wenger is constantly looking for the next future star and it seems the next one that has caught his eye is Monaco’s prodigious Kylian Mbappé, according to Bleacher Report’s Dean Jones. 

Monaco have had a superb season so far this year and currently sit second, three points behind League leaders Nice. Leanardo Jardim has a squad littered with great young talent and although Mbappé is not a constant starter, the young winger has scored five goals with three assists from three games this season. 

Arsenal missed out on ex-Monaco man Anthony Martial and will not want to let another great talent pass them by. Wenger does know, however, that Mbappe has attracted interest from many other clubs and at just 17-years-old he will not come cheap.
