Kylian Mbappe rejected Arsenal for Paris Saint-Germain and said Arsene Wenger reacted like a ‘gentleman’
Kylian Mbappe called Arsene Wenger a ‘gentleman’ for the way he reacted to his decision to choose Paris Saint-Germain over Arsenal.The 19-year-old was at Monaco in 2017 and wanted by many clubs when he made his 163m switch, and has since gone on to win the World Cup.On Monday evening in Paris, Mbappe capped off his year by becoming the recipient of the inaugural Kopa trophy, awarded to the world’s best player under the age of 21.2

Kylian Mbappe revealed he turned down Arsenal

But he admitted it turned down the chance to play in the Premier League, despite the persuasive attempts of Wenger, who reportedly visited his home, but spoke highly of the legendary Gunners boss.“He is a real French football monument who has left Arsenal,” he told France Football.“I have not seen many people in this world being viewed in such a unanimous way.“When the entirety of Europe gets on its knees in front of him to celebrate him, that certainly means something.2

Mbappe won the inaugural Kopa Trophy on Monday in Paris

“A little while ago, before I signed for PSG, we were in contact in 2017. I chose a different direction but he wasnt annoyed at me.“He was a gentleman about it and wished me good luck.”Unai Emery, who is now in charge at Arsenal, managed Mbappe during his first season at PSG and the striker has said he keeps track of how he is doing in north London.“I do not forget that he helped me adapt to this big team, which was not easy.“I have a lot of respect for this man even if he did not succeed in Paris. “He won titles before and I hope he wins them again after.“I sent him a congratulatory message when he signed for Arsenal, and now I am following from afar.”
