Arsenal: Aubameyang 'should be sold in the summer' says pundit
Manchester United have surprisingly entered the race to sign Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and they believe a deal could be done for a measly £35million. The Gabon international is out of contract next summer so could then walk for free which may force the Gunners' hand.

"So I think it's really a pleasure to be here, I'm really happy. I think that's the feeling."
United are in the market for attacking reinforcements as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to complete his squad overhaul when the transfer window reopens.
After missing out on Erling Braut Haaland in January, United completed a last-minute loan deal for Odion Ighalo.
And the Nigerian has impressed since moving to Old Trafford, scoring three goals in his eight appearances.
Solskjaer could turn that deal permanent if a deal can be struck with his parent club Shanghai Shenhua.

"Odion has done really well since he came in and he’s enjoying himself," the Norwegian boss said.
"And he will improve and get better but he has qualities we saw in him and we needed and we will still need those qualities for next season, so let’s see what we will do.
"He’s a goalscorer and a striker, he doesn't worry too much about all that nonsense; build-up play - that’s a joke, obviously.
"He knows his job and what his role in the team is, and he’s very good with his back to goal, great link player, but maybe the best thing about him is his personality, so he’s got the whole lot really."
