Arsene Wenger will this week launch an incredible £125million world record raid for Monaco star Kylian Mbappe.
Mbappe is the hottest young property in European football and Arsenal boss Wenger will use his French connections to persuade the 18-year-old to choose the Emirates over Real Madrid and Manchester City.
Wenger has spoken to Mbappe’s father Wilfried who has been a huge influence in his son’s career.
He told Mbappe senior that if his son went to the Bernabeu, there is a danger he will be starved of first-team football – while at Arsenal he will be a regular first choice.
And the Gunners boss will also go all-out to sign Mbappe’s £30m-rated team-mate Thomas Lemar. The 21-year-old is earmarked as the successor to Dimitri Payet in the France national team and it would put Theo Walcott’s Arsenal career in jeopardy.
But a deal for Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette seems far from done as the striker wants to join up with close friend Antoine Griezmann at Atletico Madrid.
The pair are on holiday with their families in Los Angeles and are due back later this week.
Atletico are currently banned from signing new players until the winter transfer window, but the Spainish giants could set up a loan deal with AC Milan for six months.
Wenger will try to persuade him otherwise but has acknowledged that Lacazette has an ambition to play alongside Griezmann at club level.
