Barcelona are prepared to wait until June to move for unsettled Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Just named club captain by the Gunners, Aubameyang is stalling on discussing new terms.

Tied to Arsenal until 2021, the 30 year-old wants to wait until he knows whether they'll be playing Champions League football next season before considering entering negotiations.

And should Arsenal miss out on the top four, Barca will be ready to pounce.

Aubameyang tops the Catalans' shortlist of names as they seek a replacement for the ageing Luis Suarez. The only stumbling block will be Barca's reluctance to pay big for a player over 30 years of age.
