Arsenal Technical Director Edu is working behind the scenes to offload Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, according to 90min.
What’s the story?
90min are reporting today that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is willing to sell striker Aubameyang in the summer transfer window.
The Gabon international striker and Arteta have had disagreements in recent months, a claim backed by Eurosport.
Arsenal Technical Director Edu is now ‘working behind the scenes on a possible exit plan’ for the 32-year-old striker.
Could Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leave Arsenal?
Aubameyang struggled last season, and the striker is also 32 now.
The former Borussia Dortmund striker reportedly earns £350,000 per week as salary at Arsenal.
How many clubs would be willing to sign a 32-year-old striker for a transfer fee and also pay him a weekly wage of £350,000?
Arsenal are actually better off keeping Aubameyang.
The striker has scored 64 goals in 114 Premier League appearances so far in his career.
Of course, Arteta has other options in attack.
Alexandre Lacazette, Eddie Nketiah and Folarin Balogun are in the Gunners’ squad.
However, journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed on The Arsenal Lounge that Lacazette could be sold in the coming days.
Nketiah and Balogun are very young and are not ready to lead the line for Arsenal.
Aubameyang is the best striker – on paper, at least – at Arsenal.
