Jack Wilshere urges Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to stay amidst the striker’s uncertain future.
After leading the Gunners to a FA Cup trophy this year, Aubameyang is in contention to receive a major pay bump.
His contract is due to run for one more season after which he will be eligible to leave for free. That is a scenario Arsenal want to evade and are looking to tie him down to a longer deal. Of course, it is difficult to convince him with the state the club is at now and how much money he actually is demanding.
Wilshere told talkSPORT on Aubameyang: “It’s massive for the club that they get him to stay. You can see what he brings. I was there when he signed and straight away from the first training session, you knew that he was world-class. He scores goals with his left and right foot, he can beat a man.
“I was lucky enough to play with a few players like that, but he was one of the best. If I was in his shoes? Arsenal’s a massive club. He’s the captain, the fans love him, he’s got the respect of the whole club.
“If I was him I’d stay, but it’s easy for me to say that. Listen, as I said, it’s important they keep him because he’s their go-to man, he’s their best player, he’s their leader. When the team is down, everyone looks to him to do something and he’s come up with the goods.”
