Arsenal have been linked with a move for Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe, but what could happen if he actually signed for the Gunners?

Mikel Arteta insisted Arsenal “have to be in the conversation” for Mbappe this summer, with the Frenchman confirming that he will be leaving Paris Saint-Germain when his contract expires at the end of June. This means that there is an opportunity for Arsenal to sign Mbappe on a free transfer ahead of the 2024/25 season, though a deal would be far more complicated than that.

Real Madrid are favourites for the 2018 World Cup winner’s signature, while Liverpool have also been linked with the forward over the last few years. Arsenal and Arteta were urged to sign a new striker in January, and although goals have proved far from an issue in recent weeks for the Gunners, a potential move for a player of Mbappe’s calibre cannot be ignored.

So, if Arsenal signed Mbappe, could he be the final piece of Arteta’s puzzle to help bring major trophies to the club? Let’s take a look.
