Even though Arsenal have been one of the clubs mentioned the most by the football media in connection with the possible transfer of the French forward prodigy Kylian Mbappe, because of the massive amount of money involved and with some of the biggest and most successful clubs in the world involved, we have come to accept that he will not be signing for Arsenal.
Tyhere have still been a fair few Arsenal transfer rumours mentioning Mbappe, though, and talking about how him signing for Real Madrid or Barcelona could have a knock on affect and also how AS Monaco and our own well reported pursuit of another of their stars, Thomas Lemar, could alter depending on the Mbappe situation.
Well that has all been thrown into doubt after last night’s action at the start of the new French Ligue 1 season, because Mbappe played and then was forced to limp put of the game after a heavy tackle. So all concerned will be eagerly awaiting the outcome and depending on the medical prognosis the transfer plans of a number of clubs including Arsenal could change.
If this knee injury is serious enough to stop his summer transfer then it might just make it more likely that Arsenal will be able to sign Lemar. It might also mean that our own striker Alexis Sanchez becomes a highly sought after target and that could spell trouble for the Gunners, so how do you think this Mbappe injury might affect our summer transfer plans?
