Kilian Mbappa, who scored 26 goals last season and helped Monaco win the French championship, joined the PSG this summer on loan.

Recently, the 18-year-old Frenchman admitted that he could be in the Arsenal and the manager of the "Gunners" Arsene Wenger believes that the London club was close to concluding the deal.

"We worked on the deal last year, and Mbagpe was close to joining us," Wenger said..

"Last year he was closer to us than in this, because then the competition for him was not so high".

MbaPpa will have a chance to make his debut for PSG already on Friday, September 8, in the away match of League 1 against Metz.
