Emirates Stadium side prepare big money bid for impressive forward.
Arsenal are set to make a big money bid for Borussia Dortmund forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang according to the Sunday Express.
The north London side saw a £28.7m bid for the Gabon international turned down by the Westfalenstadion side but are ready to put in an increased offer.
German source RevierSport state that Borussia Dortmund won’t accept offers less than £31m and suggest the Emirates Stadium side would be ready to meet the Bundesliga side’s valuation.
Aubameyang has impressed since moving to Germany from Saint-Etienne back in July 2013, netting 42 goals in 95 appearances, and is seen by Arsenal as a possible summer signing to keep Olivier Giroud on his toes.
