Arteta reacts to ‘Mbappe to Arsenal’ rumour

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has reacted to speculation linking Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe to the club.

The French club PSG has put the 24-year-old up for sale as he will not travel with the rest of his PSG team-mates for their pre-season tour of Asia.

The Ligue 1 champion pointed out that Mbappe has already agreed a deal to join Real Madrid as a free agent next summer.

But top European clubs, including Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool, have also been said to be speculating on interest in the French superstar.

While responding when asked about Mbappé’s opportunity on the market, Arteta told reporters in an interview, “You know, I never talk about players that don’t play for our club. I’m sorry.”
