Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Arsenal: Predicted Gunners line up with Borussia Dortmund ace
PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG is reportedly edging closer to joining Arsenal, so how could the Borussia Dortmund ace fit in at the Emirates?
How could Arsenal line up if they sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang?
Aubameyang has moved a step closer to joining Arsenal after a deal was ‘agreed in principle’ between the Gunners and Borussia Dortmund.
The Gabon international looks likely to join the Gunners in a deal worth around £60million with Sky Sports claiming the transfer is close, provided the Bundesliga side secure a replacement.
Aubameyang’s arrival at the Emirates could see Olivier Giroud head the other way in a part-exchange, while Chelsea are also said to be in the hunt for the French striker.
Aubameyang would likely come straight into the Arsenal starting XI if a deal is agreed, while new arrival Henrikh Mkhitaryan is also be pushing for a regular berth.
The departure of Alexis Sanchez earlier this week frees up a starting spot, but Aubameyang’s arrival would mean another current first-team star would also lose their place – so which unlucky star would lose out?
