Arsenal have already reportedly had a massive offer for Kylian Mbappe rejected with speculation yesterday claiming they will return with a new £95m offer for the teenager.
Wenger has admitted he wants to bring in two or three players this summer and has also been heavily linked with Riyad Mahrez and Barcelona’s Arda Turan.
Both players look attainable with Mahrez having already admitted he wants out of the King Power while Arda seems surplus to requirements at Camp Nou with Barca also expected to recruit this summer.

Signing Mbappe in particular would be a huge statement of intent, particularly with a host of top clubs also interested in the teenager, and it certainly promises to be a very interesting summer on the transfer front.
