Kylian Mbappe 'prefers Arsenal transfer to Liverpool' as two factors drive his interest

Kylian Mbappe would prefer to join Arsenal if he were to make the move to the Premier League, according to reports, with the Paris Saint-Germain star dealing a cold snub to Liverpool as he ponders his next move. The French star is expected to leave the Ligue 1 champions this summer after a public falling out over a new contract.

The Reds have admired the World Cup winner for some time, but that move now looks unlikely as it appears he favours a move to London instead. Mbappe has entered the final year of his PSG contract and the 24-year-old issued a public statement confirming he would not be renewing his deal with the Parisian outfit.

Mbappe is understood to appreciate 'the evolution' of Mikel Arteta's team and would also enjoy the challenge of delivering the title to the club again, after Arteta's side missed on winning their first Premier League title in 19 years last season to Manchester City.

One of them is his current club PSG, who handed the striker a lucrative two-year deal worth £94m with an option of a further year last summer.
