Odsonne Edouard not PEA replacement
Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard is NOT a suitable replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
That's according to Charlie Nicholas, who says Edouard “would not be the answer” should Aubameyang's contract dispute continue and the Gunners have to sell.
“There's been a lot of talk of Aubameyang being sold, but Edouard would not be the answer," Nicholas toldSky Sports. “He plays differently, more like Alexandre Lacazette.
“He wants to be the key figurehead of the team as the link man through the middle. For that reason, I do not see Arsenal targeting him as a replacement for Aubameyang."
Manchester United have also been linked with the 22-year-old forward.

Jadon Sancho to Manchester United
Jadon Sancho finds the prospect of joining Manchester United as their 'leading star' extremely appealing.
That's according to German journalist Raphael Honigstein, who claims the 20-year-old winger could be tempted by a switch to Old Trafford despite their inability to guarantee immediate Premier League silverware.
"Manchester United can't promise titles to Jadon Sancho straight away," Honigstein told The Athletic'sSteilcastpodcast. "But they can promise him to be the leading star in a new team that is emerging. From what I've been told that is quite appealing to him."
Sancho has been in fantastic form this season having scored 17 goals and has provided 19 assists in 35 appearances for the Bundesliga club - and is valued at £120million.

Barcelona are edging closer to the signing of Lautaro Martinez.
That's according to newspaper Marca, who claim the Argentine forward is reluctant to sign a new contract with Inter Milan despite their best efforts.
Martinez, 22, is aware of Barcelona's interest and would reportedly find it 'enticing' to play alongside Lionel Messi at the Nou Camp.
The Spanish champions haven't lodged an official offer because they fear sparking a bidding war throughout Europe with Manchester United, Chelsea and PSG all 'keeping tabs' on his situation.
However, Barcelona believe interest from their two primary rivals Real Madrid and Manchester City has no 'cooled' with Zinedine Zidane's side more interested in Erling Haaland.

Timo Werner to Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich are a better fit than Liverpool for RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner, according to Dimitar Berbatov.
The sought-after Germany international is on the radar of several European sides, all looking to trigger his relatively low £51million release clause.
But Berbatov thinks he should continue in the Bundesliga rather than trying to adjust to Premier League football.
"To be honest, it [Bayern Munich] looks like a sensible move for Timo Werner, he knows the league, they know him there, he can get used to his surroundings a lot easier," Berbatov toldBetfair. "It makes more sense for him to go there than move to England where it will probably take him a bit more time to adjust to things.
"I don't think Liverpool will miss out if he doesn't move to Merseyside, their front three are so good. I don't see many players coming close to them at the moment, the way they link up, the way they switch positions is so phenomenal. It's hard to see someone else fitting in the way they do."
