Arsenal Transfer News: Robert Pires Weighs In on Kylian Mbappe Rumours

Arsenal legend Robert Pires doesn't share manager Arsene Wenger's worries that the club could be priced out of the race to sign AS Monaco starlet Kylian Mbappe, telling reporters he believes the teenager will sign with the Gunners.

The former France international made the bold claim during an interview with Bwin (h/t London Evening Standard's James Benge): "I do think Arsenal will sign him. The problem is how much. Mbappe has the potential to play for Arsenal, and Wenger is the right manager to manage him. Monaco and Arsenal are very similar in clubs, so it won't be much of a transition.
