'Sign the contract!': Ainsley Maitland-Niles urges Arsenal team-mate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to commit his future to the club after he bagged his 50th Premier League goal

Arsenal star Ainsley Maitland-Niles has encouraged team-mate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to pledge his future at the Emirates after he netted his 50th league goal for the club.

The striker, who has been heavily linked with a move away from north London, scored a brace in the 4-0 win against Norwich on Wednesday night to reach the landmark - the fastest player to reach it in Arsenal's history.

His manager Mikel Arteta admitted after the game that he was hopeful the Gabon forward would agree a new deal with Arsenal, and Maitland-Niles joined him after speaking with Aubameyang on social media.
