Rumour: Arsenal weighing up a bid for Dortmund star Aubameyang

Arsene Wenger is believed to be a huge fan of the Borussia Dortmund star

Arsenal are reportedly set to submit a £28.7m bid for Gabon international Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The top-scorer for Dortmund last season, Aubameyang still has 3 years remaining on his contract and has made no intentions of leaving the club.

The Gunners are reportedly on the verge of completing a deal for Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech and are now looking to the Dortmund forward, as Arsene Wenger looks to add a striker apart from a central midfielder to his squad during this transfer window.

The 26-year-old has been a revelation for the Ruhr giants since signing from Saint-Etienne during the summer of 2013. He has scored an impressive 41 goals in 95 appearances for the club during his stay.

Aubameyang can play anywhere across the front 3 and possesses blistering speed, being able to beat players one on one. He is also known for his qualities on the ball and his finishing abilities inside the box.

He would be an invaluable addition to Arsenal’s frontline and would form a genuine counter-attacking threat for the Gunners next season, along with the likes of Theo Walcott, Alexis Sanchez and Danny Welbeck.
