Tying Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to a new contract would be as big as winning the FA Cup for Arsenal, says Charlie Nicholas, but he accepts the “goal machine” will move on if Real Madrid or Barcelona come calling.
The Gunners have been locked in extension talks with their club captain for some time. No deal has been done, with the prolific 31-year-old frontman entering the final 12 months of his deal as a result.
With no fresh terms agreed, it has been suggested that Arsenal may have to reluctantly sanction a sale in order to avoid losing a prized asset for nothing in the summer of 2021.
