Arsenal legend Thierry Henry slams Paris Saint-Germain over Kylian Mbappe contract situation

The forward's current deal at the Parc des Princes runs out next summer, meaning Mbappe is eligible to sign a pre-contract agreement with a club outside of France in January.

Real Madrid are leading the chase to sign Mbappe, and Henry believes the Ligue 1 leaders should've done more to ensure he stays at the club.

Speaking to Amazon, as reported by RMC Sport, Henry said: 'It should have been settled two years ago.

'I think that if two years ago, they had sat down with Mbappe to tell him: "this will be your team, we're gonna build this team around you, you're gonna be the boss."

'But now he really has his destiny in his hands. He will be able to sign wherever he wants.'

Henry was a pitch-side pundit last night as Mbappe scored both goals in PSG's 2-0 win over his former side Monaco, with the French striker claiming his 100th league goal for Les Parisiens in the process.

The brace puts him behind Edinson Cavani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in PSG's all-time top goalscorer list, an impressive achievement at just 22 years old.

Instead of securing the French star's future at the club, PSG spent the last transfer window bringing in new faces such as Sergio Ramos, Lionel Messi and Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Many believed the signing of Messi would encourage Mbappe to stay, however reports quickly emerged that the Frenchman wanted to leave the club following a a number of mega-money bids from Real Madrid.

Mbappe has since said that he is content with life at the club, but is yet to put pen to paper on a new deal.
