Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that he wants to sign AS Monaco attacker Kylian Mbappe this summer.
Mbappe, 18, has been linked with a whole host of clubs, including Arsenal and Real Madrid, after scoring 26 times in all competitions for Monaco during the 2017-18 campaign.
Wenger has claimed that there is "a red carpet open for" Mbappe due to his immense potential, and the Gunners boss has said that it would be difficult to imagine any clubs not being interested in the France international.
"He's a player who just when he gets up in the morning can choose where he wants to go. There's not many players who have that kind of luck because he's 18 years of age and has a red carpet open for him," Wenger told reporters.
"I believe nobody can say they are not interested in a player of that calibre."
Mbappe, who has recently returned to his principality club to begin pre-season training ahead of the new campaign, has a contract with Monaco until the summer of 2019.
