Arsenal closing in on deal for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Arsenal are closing in on a £53 million deal to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund.

The 28-year-old was left out of Dortmund’s squad for their Bundesliga clash with Wolfsburg and it looks like a move to the Emirates Stadium is now on the cards.

Sky Sports’ pundit Guillem Balague has claimed the striker will replace Alexis Sanchez who looks set to join Manchester United over the next few days.

United have hijacked Manchester City’s proposed deal to sign Sanchez after offering Arsenal and the forward more money if he moves to Old Trafford.
