Arsenal 'willing to listen to Aubameyang offers'

Arsenal are reportedly willing to listen to offers for top-scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang amid speculation linking him with a shock move to Manchester United.

Arsenal are reportedly willing to listen to offers for top-scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this summer amid speculation linking him with a move to Premier League rivals Manchester United.

Rumours that United were considering an audacious approach for the Gabon international surfaced earlier this month, and more recent reports have suggested that Aubameyang would be open to joining the 20-time English champions.

90min.com claims that Arsenal are now willing to consider bids for the striker as manager Unai Emery looks for ways to increase his £45m transfer budget.

However, the report goes on to state that a move to United is unlikely, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer focused on bringing young players to Old Trafford this summer.

Liverpool have also been linked with the 30-year-old in the past, although they will only consider an approach in the unlikely scenario that Mohamed Salah or Sadio Mane leave Anfield.

Arsenal are expected to demand a fee of at least the £56m they paid for Aubameyang in January 2018 as they look to raise funds for transfer targets such as William Saliba, Wilfried Zaha and Kieran Tierney.

Aubameyang has scored 41 goals in just 65 appearances for the Gunners so far, including a 22-goal haul in the Premier League last season to earn the joint-Golden Boot.
