Paris-Saint Germain forward Kylian Mbappe rules out the prospect of joining Arsenal when his contract expires at the end of the season.

Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe has laughed off the prospect of joining Arsenal this summer.

Mbappe is set to leave the French champions at the end of the season following years of speculation surrounding his PSG future.

The 2018 World Cup winner has reportedly informed the club that he has no intention of renewing his current deal, which is set to expire at the end of June.

While there has been no official announcement, Mbappe is expected to join Real Madrid on a free transfer ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.

Although Mbappe is set to swap Paris for the Spanish capital, he has also been linked with a move to the Premier League.

Last month, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta insisted that the Gunners had to "be in the conversation" to sign a player of Mbappe's calibre.

However, the PSG forward has now seemingly ruled out any prospect of joining the North London club if a move to Real Madrid fails to materialise.

In a video posted on social media, a Gunners supporter asked Mbappe: "Come to Arsenal, we'll look after you." In response, the 25-year-old said: "Arsenal? There's no way, there's no way."

Mbappe then added: "It's too cold there," when asked why he would not consider signing for Arsenal at the end of the season.

Although he is poised to leave the Parc des Princes this summer, Mbappe continues to be an integral part of Luis Enrique's side.

Mbappe has scored 35 goals in 36 competitive appearances this season, with his most recent strike arriving in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Nice in the Coupe De France quarter-finals.

Having already won the Trophee des Champions this term, Mbappe still has the chance to finish his final PSG campaign with four pieces of silverware.

As well as being in the Coupe de France quarter-finals, PSG are in the last eight of the Champions League and top of the Ligue 1 table with a 10-point lead over second-placed Brest.
