Borussia Dortmund chief: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang “not for sale”

The report says that Arsenal would be willing to pay up to €50 million to sign Aubameyang, who bagged 16 goals in 31 games last season for Dortmund.

Arsenal are ready to table an improved offer worth in excess of £30m for Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after seeing their opening £28.7m bid rejected, according to the Express.

Emirates Stadium side prepare big money bid for impressive forward.

Arsene Wenger has hinted that the club may not make any more additions, as he feels that he has a strong enough squad to compete for honours in the upcoming season, but made it clear that the door is still open if the club find a player of top quality.

The Gunners have been tipped to launch a 40million euro move for the 26-year-old, while French champions Paris Saint-Germain have also been credited with an interest in the former Saint-Etienne forward.

Of course both Aubameyang and Walcott can operate on the right but they will want to play up front and Wenger prefers to operate with one striker rather than two.

Speaking to German magazine Kicker, Dortmund’s sporting director Michael Zorc said: “We really heavily on Aubameyang – that is no secret”.

Borussia Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke has stressed that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will not be sold this summer.
