Reports suggest that Kylian Mbappe would be open to joining Arsenal, as it would enable him to emulate his hero Thierry Henry.
Arsenal have reportedly explored the possibility of signing the 25-year-old French international, especially after his potential transfer to Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain encountered obstacles.

Mbappe, widely regarded as one of the premier strikers in world football, is in search of a fresh challenge and has long been associated with a move to the Spanish capital.
However, Mbappe and his representatives are dissatisfied with Real Madrid’s current proposal, and time is running out as his PSG contract expires this summer.
Despite ongoing negotiations, Real Madrid has struggled to finalize an agreement with Mbappe, particularly regarding salary terms, leading to a considerable delay in any potential deal.
PSG has presented Mbappe with a contract offer to stay in Paris, but they anticipate his departure and are unwilling to engage in a wage bidding war.
Several clubs, including Arsenal, have shown interest in Mbappe, with The Independent reporting that the Gunners appeal to Mbappe due to the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of his idol, Henry.
However, Arsenal’s reluctance to exceed their wage structure poses a challenge, meaning Mbappe would need to adjust his salary expectations.
Arsenal was among the clubs linked with Mbappe following his breakthrough season at Monaco in 2016-17, prior to his move to PSG.
