Arsenal target PSG defender Emmanuel Mbemba in post‑final transfer push

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is looking to sign 18‑year‑old French centre‑back Emmanuel Mbemba from Paris Saint‑Germain after the club’s penalty defeat to PSG in the Champions League final. The Gunners have reportedly made a free‑transfer offer, with only a training compensation fee of about £150,000 due to Mbemba’s contract expiring in June. Arteta hopes the move will reinforce the defence and serve as "revenge" for the recent loss.

Other Premier League sides are also monitoring PSG’s squad. Aston Villa have been linked with goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier and Senegalese defender Ibrahim Mbaye, while forwards Kang‑in Lee, Goncao Ramos and Bradley Barcola are also rumored to be considering exits. These reports highlight a broader summer‑market reshuffle for the French club.
