Arsenal has shown interest in signing PSG defender Emmanuel Mbemba on a free transfer this summer.
The 18-year-old has received a new contract offer from Paris Saint-Germain. But he is said to be considering a move to the Premier League champions. The training compensation is expected to be just over £150,000 when his contract ends in June.
Arsenal has shared their development plan for the France youth international. They pointed to the growth of William Saliba, who benefited from a loan at Marseille before becoming an important first-team player.
As reported by BBC Sport on Saturday, Mbemba prefers a move to Arsenal F.C. He is impressed by the club’s stability and success under manager Mikel Arteta.
The Gunners are planning to loan the defender to a European club until January 2027. This will help him get a work permit before he moves to England. While he mainly plays as a centre-back, Arsenal sees Mbemba as a long-term option at left-back.
Mbemba recently led PSG’s under-19 team to victory in the French Youth Cup at the Stade de France. He is considered one of the club’s brightest young defensive talents.
