Arsenal stay

Football in England is suspended at the moment due to the global health crisis, and it is not clear when the summer transfer window will open.

It remains to be seen if clubs are willing to spend a lot of money this summer, but for Arsenal, it would make sense for them to keep Aubameyang.

The former Borussia Dortmund star has been superb for the Gunners, and is arguably the most consistent and most important player in head coach Mikel Arteta’s side.

So far this season, Aubameyang has scored 17 goals and provided one assists in the league, and has scored three goals in the Europa League for Arsenal, according to WhoScored.
