Aubameyang nears new deal

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is close to signing a new three-year deal at Arsenal.

There has been plenty of speculation over the striker’s future this summer with just one year left to run on his current contract.

Yet the Daily Telegraph have reported that Arsenal believe they are on the brink of tying his future to the Emirates.

Talks are said to have reached a stage where the Gunners are now drawing up the final proposal for the striker to sign following a round of talks where verbal promises were made.

Arsenal intend to integrate Emile Smith Rowe into the first-team next season.

The youngster spent the second half of last season on loan with Huddersfield Town and had been linked with another move away this summer.
