What the papers say
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could be leaving north London for a bargain price, the Sun reports. The paper says Arsenal are willing to sell the Gabon striker, who will soon start the final year of his contract with the Gunners, for just £30 million. The 30-year-old joined Arsenal from Borussia Dortmund in 2018 for £60m and he has gone on to captain the team. But selling Aubameyang would help Arsenal manager and former midfielder Mikel Arteta as he attempts to overhaul his squad with a severely limited budget.
There is still no certainty about Mesut Ozil's future at the Emirates with talks yet to commence over a possible contract extension, according to the Mirror. The former Germany international was told he was free to leave the club last summer but his significant wages – he is Arsenal's highest-paid player – priced him out of a move. The Mirror cites ESPN as reporting that the Gunners still want the playmaker, 31, off their books despite him becoming a regular starter under Arteta.
