Arsenal is reportedly setting its sights on a potential transfer of Emmanuel Mbemba from Paris Saint-Germain, following their recent encounter in the Champions League final where they lost on penalties to PSG in Budapest last week.

According to Le Parisien, the Gunners have already presented their project to the promising left-back, who captains PSG’s Under-18s. Paris FC is also interested in securing his services, indicating that Mbemba is highly regarded within Ligue 1.

Arsenal aims to persuade Mbemba to make the switch from Paris to London, which could present an appealing opportunity for the 18-year-old as he considers his development trajectory. Notably, he might draw inspiration from William Saliba, who transitioned to Arsenal at a young age and has become a vital player after enduring several loan spells.

However, there is a significant hurdle in this potential transfer. Mbemba currently does not qualify for a work permit, as reported by Le Parisien. This situation might compel Arsenal to loan him out before he can join their first team, making this signing more of a long-term investment rather than an immediate impact player.
