Arsenal legend Ian Wright has questioned the wisdom of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's contract stance.

Wright is unsure whether Aubameyang, who turns 31 later this month, will be able to demand higher wages from a different team next year if he decides to leave as a free agent.

"If the season was still going and he continued scoring goals then he'd be in a strong position," he said.

"But I think the position he's in now - we're talking about someone who's going to be 32 next summer.

"He is getting into a situation where if he does see that contract out, are the same people going to come for him?

"The contract what he's got on the table from Arsenal, is there going to be another club who's going to give him the same kind of contract?"

He added: "If he does say 'I don't want to sign a deal' and then Arteta starts to then use Martinelli and he starts to score goals and do well, then all of a sudden Aubameyang's position and negotiation point gets weaker.

"I think the longer he waits, in this time, the more it might affect him.

"Arsenal have probably got a deal on the table three maybe four years for somebody that for me, we need him to stay.

"We're talking Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus. Is he going to go to these teams? I'm not sure."
