Monaco striker Kylian Mbappe should join a club where he will enjoy regular first-team football, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said.
The Gunners are preparing to launch a world-record £121.8million bid for the 18-year-old with Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain also interested.
The 67-year-old admits that he is impressed with what the youngster has achieved so far in his career although he did not specify if he is a target for Arsenal.
"Where do you think he might finish? Somewhere where he has a good chance to play and is sure to play," Wenger told beIN Sports.
"That is why I think [Didier] Deschamps made that statement [that he should go to a club where he will enjoy regular football].
"He thinks that he needs to play but I would say as well on the other hand that the boy has made enough impression to be basically sure a club who spends a 100 million for you is basically to make at the start at least the red carpet.
"Nobody will buy a player for a 100 million and say, 'Come on, sit in the stands'.
"To resist the attraction of the big clubs for Monaco and for the player is of course is as well difficult."
