Wenge pushed hard to sign Mbappe for Arsenal

Premier League giants Arsenal could have secured France star Kylian Mbappe as a youth player.

The Gunners made an attempt to sign Mbappe when Arsene Wenger was still at the club.

Wenger, much like others in French football, were quickly aware of Mbappe's talent as he emerged in the youth system.

A new documentary, as outlined by the BBC, points out that Wenger's attempts to convince Mbpape were not successful.

The teen could even have joined Real Madrid or Manchester United when he was younger.

Instead, PSG star Mbappe is finally expected to sign for Real as a free agent this summer.
