For the first time in twenty years, Arsenal won’t be playing in the Champions League and the fans are not happy.
Prior to the end of the season, the North London club have been linked with a handful of top stars -including Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappe, to strengthen their team. However, it appears Arsene Wenger now have no other choice but to lower his expectations and plans for summer.
It is obvious that almost every top players loves playing in the Champions League. Only on rare occasions do we come across big players who move to clubs that won’t offer them Champions League football. And just like the case of Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic agreeing to move to Manchester United last season despite being aware they won’t be playing in the Champions League, then the cash must speak! But, Arsenal are not known to speak loudly with cash!
And like ‘a sign’, former Arsenal man Emmanuel Petit has told his former club to forget about the possibilities of signing Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema.
Petit noted that if he were to be Karim, he would stay put at Madrid as long as they want him to stay.
And about Mbappe, he noted that the teenager will cost at least €100million with a superb salary – which is not something Arsenal loves doing.
