Arsenal said to be closing in on signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Arsenal are attempting to sign prolific Bundesliga striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang before the transfer window closes.
Gunners CEO Ivan Gazidis and head of recruitment Sven Mislintat were yesterday spotted in Germany for negotiations with Borussia Dortmund.
Bundesliga expert and former footballer Jan Aage Fjortoft has provided an update on the situation via Twitter, insisting there is desire from all parties to get the transfer done
While that was a very positive message about Arsenal’s chances, Fjortoft went onto issue a warning about the player.
Aubameyang has been dropped for disciplinary reasons, and this is far from a one-off.
Aubameyang’s goalscoring record still makes him worth the gamble for Arsenal, considering their current league position.
The Gunners need a spark after selling Alexis Sanchez, and while it may go on to end in tears – surely it would be even worse right now if Arsenal fail to get the deal done.
