Wenger admits Mbappe already out of Arsenal's financial reach

Arsene Wenger has admitted Arsenal have little
chance of signing Monaco wonderkid Kylian
Mbappe, as he feels the Gunners would struggle to
compete with the spending power of Europe's elite.
The 18-year-old is regarded as one of the biggest
talents around in the game and clubs such as
Manchester United, Manchester City and Real
Madrid have all been credited with an interest in
the attacker following his impressive performances
in 2016-17.
Arsenal are also keeping a close eye on the
youngster's situation, but Wenger thinks Mbappe
might already be too expensive for them.
"Of course, we are following Mbappe," Wenger told
SFR Sport.
"It would be hypocritical and a lie to say we are not
following him.
"But he is already in the category of clubs who
perhaps have more options than we have
financially."
Mbappe's contract with Monaco runs until June
2019 and the Ligue 1 leaders have allegedly set a
price tag in excess of €100 million for the France
international.
