TRANSFERS Celta Vigo midfielder favours Arsenal's move over Newcastle United
This summer, Arsenal are in search of a midfielder as they seek to improve their midfield and contend for more awards next season.
After scoring twice in Friday's convincing 4-0 victory over the Netherlands, the 24-year-old French attacker is ready to lead Didier Deschamps' team in Dublin on Monday. In a heartbreaking World Cup final loss to Argentina in December, Mbappe scored a hat-trick in addition to those goals.
Mbappe’s record for France
Having recently been chosen the French team's captain, Mbappe has so far netted 38 goals for his country, just three fewer than playmaker Platini, but still far short of Olivier Giroud's 53-goal France record.

EURO 2024 Mbappé — ‘France have done their homework on Evan Ferguson’
In preparation for Monday's Euro qualifier in Dublin, the captain of the French national team, Kylian Mbappé, claims that his team has done research on Irish teenager Evan Ferguson because the Paris St. Germain star considers Ferguson to be a good player.
"For me, it's an honour to be at this stage," Mbappe told a pre-match press conference on Sunday. "That's my next target and I'll keep going. It might be tomorrow, it might not.
"Obviously Michel Platini is a legend of French football, but I'll get past that mark at some point."
Deschamps believes in Mbappe
Hugo Lloris was replaced as captain of France by Mbappe, who was named by coach Deschamps. Deschamps was convinced that Mbappe would put the requirements of the team before any personal objectives.

On Monday, the French team will face the Republic of Ireland in Dublin, and a victory would give them a second win in their group.
