Arsenal star hesitant when quizzed about Emirates Stadium future

Arsenal star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has reacted in awkward fashion when quizzed on his future during a Q&A on Instagram.

The 30-year-old hasn’t agreed on a new contract with the Gunners yet and he could leave during the summer.

His current deal expires in the summer of 2021 and if new terms aren’t agreed on then Aubameyang will probably leave.

The Gabonese international could walk away for free in just over 12 months time and that doesn’t look like a viable option for the Gunners.

Arsenal are desperate to avoid another Aaron Ramsey situation and the club’s hierarchy will sell him if he doesn’t sign fresh terms.

The man with 20 goals and one assist this season was hesitant during a recent Instagram Q&A with Besiktas midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng.

The ex-Spurs man was watching all the comments from supporters roll in and told Aubameyang: “They’re all saying you should sign a new deal with Arsenal!”

The Gunners hero does nothing to appease supporters’ concern, however, sheepishly replying with: “Ah yeah…I know…One year.”

Boateng then turned joker by proposing a swap deal which would see him join only but only if Aubameyang agreed to go to Besiktas.

Evidently that won’t happen but it’s the awkwardness of Aubameyang’s exchange that could trigger supporters.

Although play is currently suspended to a global health pandemic, they’d love Aubameyang to stay longer than next summer.

The striker has been a revelation during his time at Arsenal. He has netted 61 goals in 97 appearances and the Gunners will need a replacement.

With that in mind, the club’s hierarchy has plenty of work to do to ensure a fair transfer fee is recouped and reinvested.
