According to reports coming from Italy this weekend, Juventus could offer Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang a route out of north London.

Tuttosport reports how Juve are keen to bring Aubameyang to Serie A, and could even look to take the Gabon striker off Arsenal’s hands in January. Of course, as things stand, it could well be a move that Mikel Arteta sanctions.

Aubameyang has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons recently. A breach of club discipline led to him being stripped of the captaincy, while he has also been left out of matchday squads since. Further, it is also believed Aubameyang is training away from the first-team.

The situation is akin to that of Mesut Ozil. Arsenal, then, face a big decision when it comes to shipping the expensive striker out in the coming months. Aubameyang is the club’s top earner and was, at the time, a club-record signing at £56m when he became Arsene Wenger’s final act in the transfer market.

Juventus could be willing to give Auba a chance after losing Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer. The Turin giants will also have no issues in taking on his big wages, as seen by their signings in recent seasons.

TBR’s View: Arsenal Should Move Aubameyang On ASAP

What’s the point in him even being there now? The club are paying out massive wages for a player who has looked disinterested ever since he signed that big deal.

If Juventus wants Aubameyang, then Arsenal should be putting on a private plane to make sure he lands in Italy as quickly as possible. The Gunners squad has already moved on, and the time is now for others to shine.

As we saw at Leeds last night, the likes of Martinelli and Odegaard are thriving. It seems, then, that Aubameyang is not being missed one jot.
