Darren Bent insists he would not swap Gabriel Jesus with Kylian Mbappe if he were Arsenal manager.

Mbappe has stunned Paris Saint-Germain by indicating that he wants to leave as early as the January transfer window, despite only signing a new contract in May.

The 23-year-old is understood to be unhappy with what he perceives as a series of broken promises made by the French club which influenced his decision to sign a new deal.

Real Madrid is Mbappe’s preferred destination while the chances of the World Cup-winning striker signing for the Gunners appears to be remote.

But former Tottenham and England striker Bent is adamant that he would not replace Jesus with Mbappe if given the chance.

‘Mbappe comes with a lot of baggage… there always seems to be something,’ Bent told talkSPORT.

‘Look at Haaland who’s a superstar of world football, he comes with no baggage. Gets the deal done, you never hear any stories about him, he seems like the model professional.

‘Whenever we talk about Mbappe he’s always upset about something or he’s fallen out with somebody or him and Poch didn’t have a good relationship. There’s all this kind of nonsense.

‘He was unhappy last year, he wanted to go to Real Madrid on a free. That didn’t happen and now he’s signed his bumper contract and now again he’s not happy.

‘I’ve got no doubt Mbappe is a phenomenal player but do you want that coming into your dressing room and upsetting it?’

When asked if he would swap Jesus for Mbappe, Bent replied: ‘Right now? No. I like what Jesus is doing.

‘I’m not saying Mbappe isn’t a better player, because he is. But Arsenal are currently top of the Premier League table.’
