Arteta willing to use Arsenal pair Aubameyang, Lacazette in Barcelona swap talks

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is open to using Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in swap talks with Barcelona.

Sport says Arsenal have identified three Barcelona players they are interested in swapping Aubameyang or Alexandre Lacazette for.

The Gunners are keen to freshen up their attack before the transfer window slams shut and both of their senior strikers are believed to be available.

It emerged last week Mikel Arteta is willing to sell club captain Aubameyang, while Lacazette has less than one year remaining on his contract at the Emirates.

And Arteta would be happy to entertain a swap deal as he is an admirer of playmaker Philippe Coutinho, goalkeeper Neto and centre-back Clement Lenglet.
