Arsenal In Talks To Sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang As They Look To Replace Alexis Sanchez

Aubameyang, 28, would be the superstar calibre of signing that Arsenal believe would soften the blow of Sanchez.

Arsenal want to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund as Alexis Sanchez‘s replacement, according to reports in Germany. Sanchez is on the verge of joining Manchester United in a £30million deal which could be announced this week.

The Chilean was expected to move to Manchester City but Jose Mourinho’s side are ready to make the 29-year-old the highest-paid player in the Premier League with a £400,000-a-week contract.

City have now pulled out of the race for the forward as they are unwilling to match United’s offer. Arsenal, meanwhile, are stepping up their efforts to sign a replacement for Sanchez.
