Real Madrid and France forward Kylian Mbappe has refused to predict that Liverpool will win the Premier League next season despite admitting the strengths that Arne Slot's side have.

Liverpool's recruitment is one of the reasons why so many have rushed to back them this campaign.

Despite winning the Premier League in 2024/25, Slot has refused to let the club rest on its laurels with Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez and Florian Wirtz among the impressive list of new arrivals.



However, it will raise eyebrows among some to discover that one of the world's top players is not backing the Reds to win the Premier League.

Speaking to BILD, Mbappe was asked for his prediction for the Premier League this season and his response will have taken many by surprise.

"Of course, Liverpool has to be mentioned first and foremost, as they're determined to win one title after another," the Frenchman explained.

"But I also have high hopes for Arsenal, because the core of the team has known each other for a long time, and that's a crucial factor in football.

Maybe Arsenal, maybe it will be their year.

"It would certainly be easier to say City or Liverpool." The Reds are not just aiming for domestic glory this season, the Champions League will also be high on their agenda.

When quizzed about who he saw winning that competition, Mbappe's response was much more predictable and definitive.

We saw that last year was great with the new Champions League format.

"This year will be even better.
