Posted Saturday, June 16, 2018 by Tribalfootball.com
PSG ace Kylian Mbappe admits he was close to joining Arsenal last summer.
Mbappe eventually left AS Monaco in August for PSG.
He told Canal+ show Au Tableau: "I met with Arsene Wenger, who is a great coach. He has a great reputation here in France, he's well-respected and knows how to develop young players. This was a real option for me.
"We weighed up the advantages and disadvantages of all the clubs but my family told me it had to be my decision and one I needed to make. It also had to be a long-term decision. So it was up to me and I decided to come here [to PSG] in order to develop.
"I dream of being managed by Arsene Wenger. He is French, he's had a great career and now he is free because he has left Arsenal."
