Arsene Wenger has revealed Arsenal remain interested in signing Monaco youngster Kylian Mbappe.
The 18-year-old enjoyed a brilliant breakout season during the 2016-17 campaign, scoring 15 league goals and adding a further eight assists as Monaco won Ligue 1 ahead of French rivals PSG and Nice.
However, Wenger admits his club will not be the only side tracking the France international.
He said, as quoted by Sky Sports: "Nobody can say they are not interested in a player of that calibre, because he has such immense quality at 18 years of age. All the clubs are open and interested in him.
"He's a player who, when he gets up in the morning, can choose where he wants to go.
"There are not many players with that kind of luck, because he's only 18 years of age and has the whole of Europe rolling out a red carpet for him."
Wenger also gave an update on Arsenal's pursuit of Mbappe's Monaco teammate Thomas Lemar, who has been strongly linked with a move to the Emirates, claiming there the Gunners have not followed up their interest in the winger with a firm offer.
He added: "That's all speculation at the moment, there is nothing really concrete about any signing.
"He's a player that we have looked at, but the rest is only speculation."
"I am open to get some more signings, but it is not easy to find the players who can strengthen our squad, because we have top-quality players."
