Bakary Sako has revealed that he is attempting to encourage Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to rejoin Saint-Etienne.
Aubameyang's Arsenal future is shrouded in doubt after he was stripped of the captaincy for disciplinary reasons.
The 32-year-old hasn't played for Arsenal since December 6 and it is possible that he could leave the club in the January transfer window.
Sako returned to Saint-Etienne recently and played alongside Aubameyang during his initial stint at the club.
Former Wolves, Crystal Palace and West Brom winger Sako wants to be reunited with Aubameyang but admits that it will be difficult to convince him to join.
