Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has urged manager Arsene Wenger to make a move for Kylian Mbappe.
The Gunners have already made an offer for the youngster but it was rejected by Monaco.
The 46-year-old is convinced that the Monaco striker is a leader and would excel under manager Arsene Wenger.
"Mbappe is the leader of this generation," he told talkSPORT.
"I would love it [for him to join Arsenal]. I remember two years ago we had almost the same example as Martial.
"Martial was very good the first months with Manchester United and since Mourinho has managed the team he's not in the same position anymore. It's a risk.
"Talent is something very important in football but you need to have confidence as well from team-mates and your manager.
"You have to be tough and strong in your mind."
