Arsenal Have Reportedly Bid €100m For A Player, No Seriously

Arsene Wenger has been criticised in the past for not spending enough money in the transfer window.

While Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City spend hundreds of millions, the 67-year-old would rather sign Yaya Sanogo on a free.

To be honest, Wenger has a very sketchy record when it comes to buying and selling players, but Arsenal fans will be shocked to hear that the Frenchman has dipped into that dusty old pocket of his to bid €100m on an actual football player.

This is not a drill.

Kylian Mbappe

According to French paper L'Equipe, Arsenal have made a colossal attempt to sign Monaco striker Kylian Mbappe.

The report also claims that Arsenal have made Mbappé their primary target for the summer, but should that fail to materialise, Lyon forward Alexandre Lacazette is the back-up plan.

Last month, a picture of a young Mbappe wearing an Arsenal shirt emerged online, suggesting that he may have grown up supporting the club.

French international full-back Sebastien Corchia posted the picture on Twitter:

Not to mention this picture with Arsenal legend Theirry Henry:

As you can imagine, Twitter lost their shit after the news emerged online:

Do you think Arsenal can convince one of biggest talents in world football to join the Gunners?
