Arsenal<\/a> have made an approach to sign Paris St-Germain defender Emmanuel Mbemba on a free transfer this summer.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old youth-team player has been offered a new contract by PSG but is open to a move to a leading Premier League club, with training compensation expected to be just over \u00a3150,000 after his contract expires at the end of June.<\/p>\n

English champions Arsenal<\/a> have made early contact and outlined what they could offer, making reference to William Saliba’s progression when loaned by the Gunners to Marseille.<\/p>\n

Mbemba is said to favour Arsenal<\/a>, having seen the recent stability and success the team have had under manager Mikel Arteta’s leadership.<\/p>\n

In addition, Mbemba was told he would go out on a European loan until January 2027, allowing him time to secure a work permit to play in England.<\/p>\n

Although he has primarily played as a centre-back in PSG’s youth ranks, Arsenal<\/a> view him as a long-term option at left-back.<\/p>\n

Mbemba is a France youth international and recently captained PSG’s under-19 side to French Youth Cup success at the Stade de France.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arsenal have made an approach to sign Paris St-Germain defender Emmanuel Mbemba on a free transfer this summer.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":719568,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-719567","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/719567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=719567"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/719567\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/719568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=719567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=719567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=719567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
