Arsenal will not consider offers for sacked skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January.

The Sun says Arsenal are not planning to sell him in January and weaken their squad for the crucial second half of the season.

Aubameyang has trained alone since returning late from a trip to France to visit his mother which had been sanctioned by the club.

And he is unlikely to be involved in their last two Prem fixtures of the year against Norwich and Wolves before flying to Cameroon with the Gabon squad.

And manager Mikel Arteta has no intention of allowing the player to leave.

With Arsenal fourth in the table and in with a real chance of securing Champions League qualification for the first time since 2017, Arteta wants all hands on deck for the final push.

Allowing Aubameyang (below) to go without securing another striker would leave them short in the event of an injury to Alexandre Lacazette.
