PSG attacker Kylian Mbappe has ruled out joining Tottenham at any point in his life following pleas to join the north London side.

In an interview with CNN, the France superstar was asked to elaborate on his comments about Spurs at the Ballon d’Or ceremony earlier in the month.

Spider-Man actor Tom Holland jokingly asked Mbappe if he would join Tottenham in the future, to which the 23-year-old burst out laughing over the question.

Indeed, it was a humorous episode, and Mbappe was again asked if he would consider a move to Tottenham. And once again, the striker gave a definitive no.

Mbappe said about Spurs: “I’m sure they will make something good this season with Conte, because he’s a great manager. So it’s good for them, but I don’t think I will play for Tottenham in my life.”

The striker, who signed for PSG for a reported £166m in 2017 according to BBC Sport, is expected to leave the French club at the end of this season, with reports suggesting that Real Madrid are the favourites to sign the forward.

Indeed, Mbappe will be one of the most sought after players in world football next year, and after his comments about Tottenham, Arsenal fans were in fits of hysteria over what he had to say.
