Some Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation that Juventus are interested in signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as a replacement for Manchester United-bound Cristiano Ronaldo.

What’s the story?

According to TMW, Juventus want to sign Aubameyang from Arsenal to replace Ronaldo, who has left the Italian giants and is joining Premier League giants United.

The same Italian news outlet has claimed that Arsenal are willing to sell the 32-year-old Gabon international striker for €20 million (£17.15m).

What are Arsenal fans saying?

As you can see from the tweets below, Arsenal fans are not convinced that the North London club will sell Aubameyang, especially for €20 million (£17.15m).

Well, some of them anyway.

The summer transfer window closes next Tuesday, and if Arsenal sell the former Borussia Dortmund star now, then they are going to find it extremely tough to find a suitable replacement.

Moreover, €20 million (£17.15m) for a striker like Aubameyang who has scored 64 goals in 115 Premier League appearances does sound quite low, especially when you consider that that Gunners paid £56 million for him.

Yes, the striker had a tough time last season, but he scored a hat-trick against West Bromwich Albion in midweek and is starting to gain confidence.

It is very unlikely that Arsenal will sell Aubameyang now, unless, of course, the striker himself wants to leave.
