Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ‘hands in Dortmund transfer request’ as Arsenal talks continue

Mislintat’s glowing recommendation of Aubameyang has reportedly impressed the hierarchy at the English capital club, despite the player’s off-field issues at Dortmund.

Yesterday, Daily Star reported that the North Londoners are confident of signing the Gabon global in the winter transfer window but the latest update provided by the British source will shock the supporters.

The striker would add an exhilarating new dimension to most teams in world football.

ARSENAL have been encouraged to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang by the club’s new head of recruitment, who has assured them he is not a disruptive influence.

The striker has asked to leave Dortmund, with Bild saying his first request came on December 20th before the match against Bayern, and it’s something which has been repeated since.

Arsene Wenger revealed on Sunday that the Chilean could be sold within 48 hours after Manchester United jumped ahead of rivals City in the race to sign him.

Alexis Sanchez looks nearly certain to join Manchester United after Manchester City dropped their interest in the Chilean citing the deal as too expensive.

Obviously, Borussia Dortmund have a high valuation of their Gabonese attacker. The Times reports that the German is still in talks about extending his stay at Anfield, where he is out of contract at the end of the season. As Dortmund are listed on the stock exchange, they have to disclose all inquiries for one of their players.

Aubameyang’s talent is undeniable, as he has scored 141 goals in 212 appearances with Dortmund.

Aubameyang told bundesliga.com that he has a surprise for when he scores his 100th Bundesliga goal, sitting only two strikes from the tally.

“At some point you can’t tolerate it [lack of discipline from Aubameyang] anymore”, Zorc said.
