Paris Saint-Germain step up chase for Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang?

Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly opened negotiations with Arsenal regarding a deal for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

While the Gunners would prefer to keep the forward at the Emirates Stadium, they are expected to part ways with their star man if they cannot extend his contract past 2021.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are among a number of clubs who have been linked with the Gabon international in the past, aware that the 30-year-old could be available for a cut-price fee.

According to Todofichajes, PSG have made contact with the Premier League outfit in a bid to agree a deal for the player.

The report suggests that the Ligue 1 champions are prepared to pay €38m (£34m), a fee which is likely to tempt Arsenal into a sale.

Aubameyang has netted 17 goals from 26 starts in England's top flight during the current campaign.
