Arsenal are weighing up a sensational move for Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe.

The Frenchman's current deal with the Ligue 1 outfit expires at the end of next season and he has reportedly indicated that he will not be signing an extension.

That means PSG could be forced into offloading their prized asset this summer to avoid losing him for free.

According to Football Transfers, the Gunners are pondering whether to send Mbappe's representatives an offer, with a view to acquiring him in 2024.

The 24-year-old has been heavily linked with a switch to Real Madrid and that move could happen this window if PSG lower their asking price.

But if Los Blancos cannot agree a deal, Mikel Arteta's side could swoop in and pull off one of the biggest transfers in Premier League history.

Mbappe joined PSG from Monaco in 2017 and has bagged 212 goals in 260 games across all competitions, finishing as Ligue 1's top scorer in each of the last five seasons.

Football Transfers also report that the North Londoners will reignite their interest in Real midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni if they fail to sign either Brighton rising star Moises Caicedo or Southampton ace Romeo Lavia.
