Arsenal fan Darren Bent says he'd swap one of his team's best players for Kylian Mbappe if they had the chance.

Mbappe will leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer after communicating his decision to club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.

His imminent departure will bring an end to his seven-year spell at PSG, where he has won five league titles.

Real Madrid are expected to land the superstar forward's luxurious services, but he won't be the club's highest-earner.

Arsenal are also thought to be in the conversation to sign Mbappe, with Mikel Arteta speaking about the 25-year-old's decision to call time on his PSG career.

Bent, who played for the likes of Tottenham, Sunderland and Aston Villa during his career, would swap Bukaya Saka for Mbappe if Arsenal had the chance.

Asked if he'd swap Saka and Martin Odegaard for Mbappe, Bent told talkSPORT: "No, I’m not swapping both of them.

"I’d give one of them and another player."

Andy Goldstein then suggested Saka and Gabriel Jesus for Mbappe to which the former Premier League forward said: "Yeah, I’d do that."

Explaining his decision, he added: "You’d have a centre-forward who was going to smash goals in and he can play on that right-hand side as well.

"I’m not giving up Saka and Odegaard. I’d give up Gabriel Jesus and Odegaard, or Gabriel Jesus and Saka."

Bent concluded: "That pains me because Saka, an academy graduate, but you are talking about arguably the best player on the planet and he’s not old, he’s young.

"I love Mbappe. I’d play him down the middle but he’s versatile, which is what I like - he can play on either flank."

Saka has been a regular starter for Arsenal since breaking into the team in the 2019/20 and has scored 13 goals in all competitions this season.

As for Mbappe, he's enjoying another ultra-prolific campaign, having scored 31 goals in all competitions this season.
