Monaco striker Kylian Mbappe has Arsenal fans dreaming of a sensational transfer after ‘liking’ a tweet from a fan suggesting the Gunners need to buy him and Alexandre Lacazette this summer.

The 18-year-old forward has just had a superb breakthrough season for Monaco, scoring 26 goals in all competitions to fire his club to the Ligue 1 title and the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Arsenal are among a number of top clubs to have been linked with Mbappe in recent times, with reports that they’re ready to smash their transfer record to beat their rivals to his signature.

It remains to be seen how much can really be read into a player’s social media activity, though last summer’s high-profile transfer of Paul Pogba between Juventus and Manchester United saw plenty of clues dropped on Instagram throughout the saga.




Still, when user @Catf1sh tweeted: ‘Now is the time for Arsenal to submit a double bid for Kylian Mbappe and Alexandre Lacazette’, Mbappe responded by ‘liking’ the suggestion.

The France international would surely have the pick of Europe’s elite clubs if he did decide on a move this summer, but could well see a move to Arsenal as the best next step for his development, as he would likely play more there than at somewhere like Real Madrid.

Former Monaco team-mate Bernardo Silva has already left the club this summer for a move to Manchester City, and said this week that Mbappe is torn over his future.
