Aubameyang has been offered a new deal by Arsenal, but recent speculation suggests he’s not looking close to agreeing to an extension.
Arsenal fans will hope the Gabon international can now be persuaded by this nudge from his team-mate Lacazette.

And Lacazette could be seen ‘liking’ the post as the Frenchman very much seems keen to join the chorus of voices calling for Aubameyang to stay.
