Arsenal supporters on Twitter have been surprisingly receptive to the prospect of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang departing north London for PSG this summer.
BBC reporter David Ornstein has reported that PSG manager Thomas Tuchel is keen to bring the Gabonese striker to Paris although the Gunners are likely to rebuff any offers and keep their star forward.
After signing from Borussia Dortmund for more than £57m last January, Aubameyang has gone on to score 32 Premier League goals including 22 strikes this campaign, enough to share the Golden Boot with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.
Despite Aubameyang’s goalscoring prowess, Arsenal could only manage a fifth-placed finish and need to beat Chelsea in the Europa League final on May 29 in Baku to secure Champions League football.
Another season of Europa League football would see Unai Emery handed a limited transfer budget and would likely require additional sales to fund a considerable summer overhaul.
At 29 years of age, Aubameyang’s value is set to decrease in the coming years leaving Arsenal with a difficult decision to make this summer should a big money bid from the French champions materialise.
With Alexandre Lacazette also on the books and weaknesses in defence and midfield, Arsenal fans have shown a surprising amount of support for cashing in on Aubameyang – although Ornstein claims the club intend to turn down any approaches.
