Real Madrid to make Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang a 'great priority' with striker having 'asked to leave' Arsenal with just one year left on his contract

Real Madrid have made Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang a 'great priority' this summer as they step up their pursuit of the Arsenal striker.

The Spanish side have struggled to fill the attacking void left behind by Cristiano Ronaldo since he departed the Bernabeu for Juventus in 2018.

However, Zinedine Zidane believes he has identified Aubameyang as the ideal replacement with the Gabon international stalling on a new contract at the Emirates Stadium, according to Spanish daily Sport.
