Arsenal title winner Ray Parlour says captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang should be sold.
Aubameyang has put off talks over a contract extension as he continues to weigh up his future in north London.
And Parlour told talkSPORT: “I think you've got to sell him if he doesn't sign a contract, and then take the money and try to replace him.
“It's really difficult to keep a player if he doesn't want to stay.
“It's a big decision to make, but I don't know what sort of money you could get for him if he doesn't want to stay. If you get a good fee for him then you have to try and go out and replace him.
“That is difficult, but it has happened at every single club when players come to the last year of their contract."
