Kylian Mbappe has now shared his thoughts on a move to Arsenal – amid reports Edu is trying to sign the Frenchman.

The PSG No.7’s response was captured in a video posted by Mikey Poulli.

So, what did Kylian Mbappe say about joining Arsenal? Let’s take a look…

Kylian Mbappe reacts after being asked to join Arsenal

Well, the France international was very clear after Poulli asked him to join Arsenal.

Mbappe repeated “Arsenal” before erupting into laughter, adding: “There’s no way. There’s no way. It’s too cold there.”

The 25-year-old’s response comes after The Times claimed that Arsenal are exploring ways to sign the £166m man, who has already told PSG he will be leaving when his contract expires this summer.

Mbappe has enjoyed yet another remarkable campaign over in Paris, scoring 35 goals in just 36 appearances so far this term – while also providing seven assists.

Edu monitoring other strikers

A deal for Mbappe would have been a major shock even before his comments emerged – many expect the man from Bondy to join Real Madrid this summer.

Arsenal fans can – at least – take comfort from the fact Edu is not putting all of his eggs in one basket, as other forwards are apparently being looked at.

A story from Charles Watts claimed that Arsenal recently held talks with the representatives of Napoli No.9 Victor Osimhen at London Colney.

The Nigeria international scored 31 goals in 39 appearances last season to fire Napoli to a first Serie A title in 33 years.

Arsenal have also been strongly linked with Brentford No.17 Ivan Toney – TEAMtalk believe Mikel Arteta is personally keen to sign the England international.

While Mbappe may not be joining Arsenal this summer, it would be a surprise if at least one new striker didn’t arrive at the Emirates Stadium.
