The Dortmund coach is desperate to learn the outcome of whether or not his star player is available to him with Arsenal allegedly interested.

Borussia Dortmund boss Peter Stoger has urged Arsenal to speed up and get on with their Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang transfer, according to The Sun.

The 51-year-old Austrian is desperate to learn the outcome of the situation and wants to know whether or not he should accommodate his star striker into his plans.

Arsenal had a reported £50m bid rejected for the Gabon international on Tuesday and it is believed the clubs are still bartering over the price tag.

Aubameyang will not come cheap; as one of the world’s most prolific goal-scorers he has netted an impressive 21 goals already this term.

Since joining Dortmund, the 28-year-old has scored 141 goals in 212 appearances, bettering his previous best campaign last season with 40 in all competitions.

The former AC Milan youth player has missed the last two games for his club, but he returned to training with the rest of the squad this week and, depending on the Arsenal situation, could return to Stoger’s side to play Freiburg at the weekend.

According to The Sun, Stoger said: “I can only say that we would soon like to have a solution to this situation.

“Whatever the outcome of this matter, everyone would agree that whatever brings clarity will help the team.”

The Germans are reportedly keen on landing out of favour Olivier Giroud for themselves as part of the deal for Aubameyang, but whether that materialises remains to be seen.
