A close relative of Kylian Mbappe has admitted the Monaco starlet could join Arsenal this summer.
Arsene Wenger was close to signing Mbappe last summer but the forward decided to stay an extra year in Monaco.
He went on to score 26 goals in all competitions as his Club Monaco won the French Ligue I title and reached semifinals in the Champions League.
PSG, Barcelona and Real Madrid are keen on the 18-year-old while Arsenal have made him their No.1 target this summer.
It was feared their failure to qualify for the Champions League would scupper any chance the Londoners had of signing him — but that is not the case.
Speaking to French publication Le Parisien , the relative said: "Wenger is a great man. If Kylian signs for Arsenal tomorrow, it will be for him.
"He knows how to shape young players and especially the former strikers of the French team, Thierry Henry and Nicolas Anelka.
"The Europa League is not an obstacle in itself."
