Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was tightlipped last night over their bid for Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Frenchman watched on in delight as the Gunners came from a goal down to overcome Chelsea and seal a place in the Carabao Cup final with Manchester City next month.

Away from the Emirates, Arsenal chiefs were in Germany attempting to thrash out a deal with Borussia Dortmund for the hotshot.

Wenger said on the potential deal: “The best is I don't talk about that.

“If something happens, it happens.

“If not I'm perfectly happy with the squad I have."

He added: "It was a blow to go out of the FA Cup so early so I refocused on the League Cup and now we are back at Wembley again.

“Now we face a very strong Manchester City team at Wembley but once you are in a final you want to win it.

“It is very difficult to win trophies in England and when you the opportunity to do that, you have to take it."
