Arsenal prepared to sell Aubameyang this summer

Arsenal have no interest in allowing captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang running down his contract.

The Daily Mail says Arsenal have been rebuffed in their attempts to get him to sign a new contract, with Aubameyang, 30, shelving the most recent round of discussions after becoming disillusioned under previous manager Unai Emery.

The former Borussia Dortmund striker is approaching the final 12 months of his deal and Arsenal are likely to listen to offers for their captain in the summer rather than risk losing him for nothing next year.

Aubameyang, who has never won a league title or European trophy, is desperate to relaunch his Champions League career.

However, the upward trajectory of the club's fortunes since the appointment of manager Mikel Arteta has raised hopes that he can be persuaded to commit to Arsenal.
