‘We will do everything to keep him’ – Monaco under no pressure to sell Manchester United and Arsenal target Kylian Mbappe

Monaco vice president Vadim Vasilyev insists the club are under no pressure to sell Arsenal and Manchester United target Kylian Mbappe.

The 18-year-old forward has taken Europe by storm this season with his performances in Ligue 1 and the Champions League, and has attracted the prying eyes of top clubs.

Arsenal sent scout Gilles Grimandi to specifically watch the French starlet in action in their recent win over Manchester City, while Chelsea and Tottenham are also said to be interested.

Monaco were forced into selling prized asset Anthony Martial to Manchester United in 2015, but Vasilyev was quick to dismiss that the French giants will be in a similar position with Mbappe.
