Arsenal to offload Aubameyang before signing Vlahovic this month

Arsenal bigwigs are following the process of Aubameyang.

Arsenal are eager to offload Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang before signing Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic this month. According to Daily Star, Barcelona is planning a move for Gabon forward Aubameyang.

Arsenal bigwigs have checked in with the Catalan giants to see if they would like to take the Gunners man off their books this month.

Barca still have major financial difficulties and need to lighten their squad further before any high-profile signings can be made.

Meanwhile, Newcastle is also looking for a viable option for Aubameyang with the Toon prepared to pay the bulk of his mammoth £300,000-a-week salary.

Arsenal is already planning for Vlahovic and the Fiorentina striker is on manager Mikel Arteta’s shortlist. The Serbian striker has less than two years left on his current deal with the Serie A side.

But crucially, Arteta wants a natural target man in his ranks to get the best out of his young attacking-midfield players and views the 6ft 3 Serbian as fitting the bill perfectly.
