Wenger rules out Aubameyang swoop, Arsenal fans react
Borussia Dortmund forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was heavily linked with a move to the Premier League during the summer transfer window.
The Gabon international ended up staying put at the Bundesliga club, but now that the winter market has rolled around, Arsenal have been touted as potential suitors.
Sky Italy recently reported that Aubameyang is the Gunners’ amber-one choice to replace Alexis Sanchez if the Chilean departs this month.
However, when asked about the speculation during his press conference on Friday, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger told reporters that a deal was “not a possibility”.
The future of Sanchez remains shrouded in doubt due to the fact that he has not signed a new contract at the Emirates.
The attacker is free to pen a pre-contract agreement with another club this month because his current terms at Arsenal expire in the summer.
