Arsenal seeks to sign PSG teenager Emmanuel Mbemba this summer

Summary

Arsenal has made an approach to recruit Paris Saint-Germain defender Emmanuel Mbemba, who is 18 years old, as his contract is set to expire this summer. Mbemba, a youth international with France, captained PSG's under-19 team to the French Youth Cup. Despite PSG offering him a new contract, he is reportedly open to a move to the Premier League champions. If a deal is reached, Arsenal will pay PSG a development compensation fee of approximately £150,000. It is anticipated that Mbemba would be loaned to a European team to fulfil work permit requirements before joining Arsenal's squad.
