Henry makes transfer request to Mbappe

France and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has sent a passionate request to Kylian Mbappe about his future amid the links with Real Madrid.

Mbappe is heading into the final six months of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, which would allow him to enter negotiations with teams outside of France.

The 24-year-old is yet to make a decision about his future but remains linked with Los Blancos, who have reportedly been long-time admirers.

Henry has now urged the World Cup winner to remain in the French capital beyond this campaign.

"If I'm Kylian Mbappe, I'm not going. You want to finish what you started," Henry told CBS Sport.

"Why would you want to leave? You still have to win the league. He loves PSG, you have to understand that.

"He loves his club, he's from there... I want him to stay until the end."

Mbappe came in for some criticism after the side's draw with Borussia Dortmund for his behaviour after the game, but Emmanuel Petit has defended the PSG player.

 "I understand his frustration, If I were in his place, I would not have understood the instructions from the bench either," Petit told RMC Sport.

"We saw the bench get up and Achraf Hakimi tell his teammates to calm things down.

"Mbappe doesn't think like the majority of players. He's right, I'm sorry, but he knows. He plans ahead and knows what's going to happen.

"He knows very well who PSG could face next. We know his ambitions, he doesn't want to finish second and he knows there was room to finish first."
