The Monaco striker is wanted by some of Europe's biggest clubs, but has been urged to consider his options carefully before making a big career choice

Monaco’s Kylian Mbappe is the “leader of this generation” but must choose his next move carefully, says Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit.

The Gunners are among those reported to be pursuing the teenage frontman ahead of the summer transfer window.

A big-money bid from Emirates Stadium is reported to have already been knocked back, with Real Madrid another of those plotting an approach for a £100 million-rated talent.

Petit is pleased to see a fellow Frenchman creating so much excitement, but has pointed to Manchester United forward Anthony Martial as an example of how high-profile moves can fall flat.
