Arsenal are leading the race for teen sensation Kylian Mbappe.

The Monaco forward is wanted by all of Europe’s big clubs and is tipped for a big future by many in French football.

Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have all scouted the 17-year-old – as have Premier League giants Chelsea and Liverpool.

However, according to L’Equipe, it is Arsenal who are winning the race for Mbappe’s signature.

The Frenchman’s contract with Monaco expires at the end of the season and he would be able to leave on a free, although compensation will be due to the Ligue 1 club.

Arsenal have held talks with Mbappe and negotiations are said to be progressing well.
