Arsenal plot record-breaking £125m move for Kylian Mbappe

TOP STORY: Arsenal won't give up on Mbappe

AS Monaco sensation Kylian Mbappe has been heavily linked with a move away from the principality this summer, with big-spenders Real Madrid and Manchester City both said to be interested in signing the 18-year-old.

But Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger could land a surprise blow on his rivals with an incredible £125 million swoop for the striker, if the Sunday People is to be believed.

The paper says that Wenger "will use his French connections" to persuade Mbappe to join him for one last Premier League title push at the Emirates, with a guarantee of first-team football said to be on the table -- something that the likes of Real and Man City might not be able to offer.

Speculation over Mbappe's future is sure to escalate after the teenager erased Monaco from his Twitter profile on Saturday
