In the always suspenseful world of football transfer rumours, a storyline capturing the imagination of fans around the world has the prospect of Kylian Mbappe moving to the Premier League.

The French superstar was heavily linked with a host of top European clubs ahead of his final 12 months at Paris Saint-Germain.

Although Real Madrid have always been seen as the next target for the World Cup winners, links with Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool have never fully faded.

Kylian Mbappé at Arsenal?
However, should Mbappe decide to move to the Premier League, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are his favorite club over all others, according to a recent report from the Independent.

Although Arsenal may not have been as successful lately as they were in their glory days, their history, style of play and passionate fan base still has a unique charm and Mbappe , known for his flair and technical prowess, keeps the Gunners seemingly for a perfect platform to showcase his skills.

Currently valued at a staggering £180m(TM), it stands to reason few clubs could lure the French captain away from Paris this summer.

But with his contract expiring next year and the Paris Saint-Germain hierarchy determined not to get rid of him for free, some negotiations are expected to take place.

Arsenal want £25m for West Ham target who wants to hold on for a more important club to bid

As West Ham and Arsenal are set to announce Declan Rice’s deal at the Emirates Stadium, the Gunners have informed the Hammers of the sale price for a player wanted by David Moyes.

Given the quality of the negotiations between the two clubs, it wouldn’t be surprising if the two London rivals agreed more deals this summer or in the next transfer windows.
Mikel Arteta’s window couldn’t be better at this stage.

Kai Havertz has been signed, Rice is next and The Athletic (subscription required) suggest Ajax star Jurrien Timber will also sign with the Gunners on the dotted line.

By contrast, the east Londoners have remained mostly calm, although it’s fair to assume West Ham will handle much of their transfer business themselves once the Rice deal is finalised.

An interesting player for Moyes is Arsenal’s Nuno Tavares and Tuttomercatoweb points out that the Gunners are asking for £25million for his services.

It seems a fair price for the 23-year-old Portuguese, who was on loan at Marseille last season, but a deal that comes to fruition could be a major hurdle.

The outlet also points out that while Turkish giants Galatasaray are interested, the player himself is clearly not keen on either club and seems keen to wait and see if a “bigger” club steps in for him.

With such an attitude, buyers are unlikely to approach him, and who could blame them?
