Arsenal Transfer News: Formal Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Talks Held with Dortmund

Arsenal reportedly held "formal talks" with Borussia Dortmund over Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on Sunday as Ivan Gazidis, Huss Fahmy and Sven Mislintat travelled to Germany.

According to Goal's Chris Wheatley, the trio—Arsenal's chief executive, contract expert and head of recruitment, respectively—arrived in Dortmund on Sunday to negotiate a deal for the striker, though they returned to London several hours later without having reached a final agreement.

Former footballer Jan Aage Fjortoft gave further updates:

The Gunners look set to part company with Alexis Sanchez as he nears a move to Manchester United, so Aubameyang would replace the firepower lost in the Chilean's departure.
