While Arsenal would likely prefer to strengthen than lose their better players in the summer, striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang appears to be moving closer to the exit door, with Paris Saint-Germain now having entered the race.
The Gabon international has just over 12 months left on his Arsenal contract, and unless the club can convince him to recommit himself to the Gunners, he could find himself on the way out of the Emirates very soon.
PSG are in need of forward recruitments in the summer, with Edinson Cavani set to leave the club following the expiry of his contract, while loan star Mauro Icardi reportedly wants to return to Italy.
This has seen them target Arsenal’s 30-year old hitman, who is currently second in the Premier League’s goalscoring chart, behind Leicester’s Jamie Vardy, with 17 goals to the Arsenal man’s name.
Should Barcelona re-sign Neymar too, PSG might be even more desperate to sign Aubameyang in the summer, meaning that the Gunners could look to play hardball with the French champions.
With Arsenal said to value Auba at around £50 million this summer, we’ve taken a look at PSG’s squad and have come up with a number of players who could potentially be used as a makeweight in any prospective summer swoop.
