#1 Kylian Mbappe

Kylian Mbappe emerged as one of the most sought-after player in Europe at the end of the 2016/17 campaign, as PSG came calling for the France international.
The Gunners had however contacted the teenage sensation a year before he broke on to Monaco's first-team as a starter.
Wenger had made contact with Mbappe and his family as his contract was about to end with Monaco and the Gunners would have had to pay just £230,000 for the youngster as per FIFA's compensation rules.
Arsenal's hopes fell flat as Monaco convinced Mbappe to sign a contract extension and the player went on to become one of the brightest young talents in Europe.
Mbappe has the potential to be a star around which a team could be built around - something Wenger loves to do. Ultimately, Mbappe only managed to become yet another name in the list of players Arsene Wenger almost signed.
