Arsenal fans react as report makes worrying Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang claim

Arsenal supporters have reacted to a report that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will seek an exit from the club next summer.

According to The Times, the Gabon striker will attempt to leave at the end of the season if the club are not amongst the Champions League places.

Given their current league position of 12th, it is highly unlikely they will be finishing in the top four in 2019/20.

Apparently Aubameyang has told the club of his desire to win trophies and to play in the Champions League.

The Gunners had recently hoped to get their talisman signed up to a new contract, but the 30-year-old has been stalling.

Aubameyang has been a revelation in terms of goalscoring since joining the club in January 2018.

The £56 million signing from Borussia Dortmund (BBC Sport) has hit 56 goals in just 89 appearances for Arsenal.

Given the player’s age, there is a real possibility Aubameyang will feel as though time is running out in his career and so needs to consider if staying at the Emirates would help him realise his trophy ambitions.

Arsenal fans react

Although Arsenal fans love him for what he has done, quite a few seem to be open to losing their current club captain, and some simply can’t blame him for possibly wanting to leave:

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. Aubameyang is phenomenal. On his day, one of the best strikers in the world. However, if he wants out, let him leave. There is no point in carrying players who aren’t willing to give 110% for the new regime. Promote Martinelli & reinvest.

We should try and hang on to him for the rest of the season- need his goals

“Let Aubameyang go; there are plenty of other strikers around.”
This isn’t FIFA, and any fan saying that must be a teenager. Goals are extremely hard to replace, and only Aguero, Kane, Suarez, Lewandowski and Cavani have netted Auba’s frequency in the last five years. #afc pic.twitter.com/8vhQNwRK6A

Aubameyang has definitely been one of our best players since he joined. *IF* the talk about him handing a transfer request is true, it may be hard to find someone who directly replaces goals. A player who still scores a lot and brings others into the game should be the way.

He is a very valuable player but he is now 30 years old and his contract expires after 18 months. We can sell him up and take Upamecano and Bergwijn. So everyone will be pleased.

Buy Werner and put him up top. Martinelli on the right and Nelson/Pepe on the left

Love Auba but if you don’t want to play for us then you should be moved on

If Auba goes, we need to go straight for Zaha.. also think he would help get the best out of Pepe.. Best pals etc..

If Aubameyang has handed a transfer request to leave Arsenal then so be it. I’ll wish him well. He’s a fantastic striker who has been one of the only positives at Arsenal since he joined.
Unfortunately, he is too good for us at the moment. Plain and simple. pic.twitter.com/hMigyavu5n
