New Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is spying a shock move to Barcelona.

Sport says Aubameyang has postponed talks over a contract extension as he explores Barcelona's interest.

The Catalan club have been linked with a move for Aubameyang, who is out of contract at the Emirates in 2021.

The Gabonese striker has stalled on signing a new contract with reports suggesting he could look to leave north London if they fail to secure a return to Champions League football.

That has led to Barcelona monitoring his situation - and he is keen to wait and discover the level of that interest before resuming talks over an Arsenal extension.
