Aubameyang signs new deal with Arsenal

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has agreed to a new three-year contract with Arsenal, according to reports.

The 31-year-old’s current deal with the Gunners is due to expire next summer where he would then be able to leave on a free transfer.

However, The Athletic now report that Aubameyang has agreed to extend his stay with the club and will sign a new three-year deal ‘imminently’.

The report claims that Mikel Arteta played an instrumental role in convincing the striker to stay at Arsenal.

It’s also reported that the terms of Aubameyang’s deal were arranged by Arsenal’s former head of football, Raul Sanllehi, before the Gunners’ technical director, Edu, finalised the terms.
