Arsenal forward Pierre Emerick Aubameyang has just over a year remaining on his current contract at the Emirates Stadium.
Aubameyang’s future at Arsenal is currently uncertain, as the striker’s contract is set to expire in just over a year.
Mikel Arteta wants to keep the Gunners attacker, but there are fears that he could leave forming now.
Aubameyang has reportedly attracted attention from Barcelona, among other clubs, which could turn his head.
But Leno insists that he thinks Aubameyang will stick with Arsenal and pen a new deal.
“I’m not sure, it depends who’s going to leave and who stays. I don’t know,” the Metro transcribe the Arsenal goalkeeper as saying.
“I think it depends if Auba signs a new contract or [if] he leaves. I don’t know what they are going to do.
“But if he leaves, of course, you need another player. ‘But I think he’s going to stay.”
Aubameyang has publicly suggested that he is happy at Arsenal recently, amid all the uncertainty, but until he pens a new deal speculation will continue to rise.
If Aubameyang does stay at Arsenal it will be a huge boost to Arteta’s men, as he plays such a key role for them.
The rapid £56 million forward (BBC Sport) has often been used in a wide-role by Arteta, but he has continued to score regularly, while also helping the side in a defensive sense.
Aubameyang has scored 17 goals in 26 games for Arsenal in the Premier League this term.
