The Premier League is home to some of the best football players in the world. However, there is always room for improvement. With the best young player in the world, Kylian Mbappe, often linked with a move away, the big Premier League clubs including Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and the like could only dream of signing him.
Of all the options, Manchester City seem the most likely Premier League destination. This is due to their immense financial situation and, of course, they have the best manager in the world. However, just because it is the most likely destination, it is not Mbappe’s preferred destination.
Arsenal is actually Kylian Mbappe’s preferred EPL destination
According to journalist Miguel Delaney, Arsenal is actually Kylian Mbappe’s preferred destination if he ever joined the Premier League. However, it’s a massive “if”. Firstly, Mbappe is way out of Arsenal’s budget (especially since they’ve already spent £200m this season). Secondly, there has been no contact between the two clubs and there is likely to remain no contact.

So, while Mbappe’s revelation might provide a confidence boost to fans, it shouldn’t give them any hope. Potentially if the superclub project continues then this transfer COULD happen in the future. However, in the very near future, Mbappe won’t be part of Arteta’s plans.
For now, Arsenal will continue to utilise their young wingers. They have Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka and Reiss Nelson who are all capable of being world-beaters, having recently signed new contracts at the Emirates Stadium. They are not near Mbappe’s level, but they are sufficient for Arteta’s challenge to become the best team in England.
