Kylian Mbappe has officially joined Paris St Germain on season-long loan from Monaco
The agreement ends one of the summer’s longest-running transfer sagas as Chelsea and Liverpool were keen to snatch him up as well as Arsenal.
However, Kylian Mbappe has opted to join Paris St Germain from Monaco, the two clubs have announced.
The 18-year-old France striker moves on an initial season-long loan deal with an option for PSG to buy him outright next summer.
The agreement, which came just hours before France’s World Cup qualifier against Holland, brings to an end one of the summer’s longest-running transfer sagas.
