Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is prepared to leave this month.

However, the former Gunners captain favours staying in Europe ahead of a lucrative move to the Middle East.

Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal are in contact and willing to cover Aubameyang's current £350,000-a-week wages. But the Gabon skipper favours remaining in Europe.

As such a return to France could be on for the former St Etienne star.

The Times says Olympique Marseille and PSG are both weighing up a late market move for Aubameyang this week.
