Emmanuel Petit says he would love Kylian Mbappe at Arsenal
The Monaco striker is weighing up his options this summer ahead of a potential blockbuster move.
Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal are all pursuing the teenage sensation.
Even with Monaco demanding a world-record fee of around £120million, Mbappe could still sign for Arsenal.
The 18-year-old reportedly considers the Emirates a viable destination as a potential stepping stone in his career which will give him the chance to mature under Arsene Wenger.

Mbappe's representatives are unsure about Arsenal
And playing in the Europa League for at least one season does not seem to be a deterrence for Mbappe from joining Arsenal.
However, the same cannot be said for his advisors.
According to French newspaper L'Equipe, Mbappe's representatives are unsure about Arsenal because of their non-participation in Europe's elite club competition.
The Monaco ace would be guaranteed a starring role in north London, but would be limited to the big stage of the Premier League, despite having reached the Champions League semi-finals last season.

Monaco have told the France international he is free to decide his future, with his contract running until 2019.
And L'Equipe add Mbappe has spoken directly with Arsene Wenger, although little has been disclosed from their conversation.
It is said, though, that compatriot Wenger went into detail on his view of what Mbappe's entire career plan should be during their phone call.
There are no fears of sides being accused of tapping up the youngster due to Monaco letting him sort his own future.
Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has held talks with him too, but Mbappe is yet to make a decision over his next step.
