Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's £53m move to Arsenal in doubt as boss Peter Stoger insists he sees no reason for striker to leave: 'He is in our plans'

Arsenal's move for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could be in doubt after Borussia Dortmund manager Peter Stoger admitted he expects the striker to stay.

The Gunners are keen on a £53million move for the Gabon international, with Alexis Sanchez close to the exit door, and it looked to be on after Aubameyang was left out of Dortmund's most recent squad.

Since then, though, he has returned to training and Stoger says he sees no reason for his player to leave before the end of January.

'For me it is just logical [that Aubameyang stays],' he said.
