For months there have been rumors of all kinds about the future of Kylian Mbappé. He is under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until June 30 this year and has not yet announced what he wants to do after that date. His first option is to continue in France, either by activating the automatic extension clause until 2025 or by accepting the four-season renewal offer the club made to him some time ago.

The other alternative is to leave PSG and, for the first time in his professional career, play for a club outside Ligue 1. In that case, his destinations seem to be two: Spain or England. Real Madrid have been interested in signing him for years and, in fact, they came very close in 2022. At that time, in a situation similar to the current one, 'Kiki' finally decided to stay in France.

England has the attraction of the Premier League, one of the best tournaments in the world. There there are at least 5 or 6 clubs that every year start the season with the goal of being champions, something that does not happen in leagues like those of France, Spain or Germany that are dominated by few teams.

For months it was speculated that Liverpool were the English club most likely to persuade Kylian, as they will probably need a forward if Mohamed Salah leaves for Saudi Arabia next summer. But apparently Mbappé's desire is to play for another English giant: Arsenal. According to The Independent, he would "willingly join" The Gunners in the future, and he has a good reason to do so.

Why them?

While Arsenal are one of the biggest clubs in England and in recent seasons have competed for the Premier League title, the choice of Kylian Mbappé is unexpected. However, the reason is very simple: there shone for years Thierry Henry, another great French striker and one of the heroes of 'Kiki' since he was a child. Henry scored 228 goals in 377 games between 1999 and 2007, then briefly in 2012.
