Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe has revealed he never really came that close to a transfer to Arsenal back in the summer of 2017.
Mbappe has been quoted by Arsenal reporter Charles Watts as saying he did have some talks with former Arsenal boss Wenger, though he may have already decided at that time to make a different move.
“We were in touch in 2017. I’d chosen a different path, and he didn’t hold it against me. He was a gentleman and wished me good luck,” said Mbappe on transfer talks with Wenger.
