Arsenal are edging closer to signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Gunners have been negotiating with Borussia Dortmund for the prolific striker for the past week and have seen two bids rejected.

Now it appears an agreement is close, with BBC Sport’s David Ornstein reporting a fee of £60 million is close.

However a sticking point remains Borussia Dortmund signing a replacement.

Arsenal have lost Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United this transfer window, but managed to sign Henrikh Mkhitaryan in exchange.
