Arsenal fans go crazy over Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang contract talks

Striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been offered a contract extension by Arsenal, according to a report by French publication L'Equipe . The Gabon international, who sealed a move to the Emirates Stadium from Borussia Dortmund back in January 2018, is out-of-contract in North London at the end of the 2020/21 campaign, with speculation mounting about his future. It is no secret that the Gunners are desperate to retain Aubameyang's services, as he has proven to be their star man over the past couple of years, particularly this season, as he has notched 20 goals in 32 appearances across all competitions. But with Arsenal still some way off from competing for the Premier League title and showing no signs of gaining qualification for the Champions League anytime soon, the striker, who turns 31 later this month, could be open to a move elsewhere. Should the striker fail to put pen to paper on a new deal before he enters the final six months of his current contract he could leave

Arsenal: William Saliba already two step ahead of Mavropanos

Everyone can’t wait to see what William Saliba can be at Arsenal and, on the bright side, he’s already ahead of Konstantinos Mavropanos. Arsenal ‘s defense is going to look so damn good next season it’s gonna be mental. I know I gush about it a lot, but Mikel Arteta has worked literal magic in turning David Luiz and Shkodran Mustafi into a defense that doesn’t give up a crapton of goals per match. In fact, they give up less than a goal a game. Combined. Two of the biggest defensive “clowns” out there. United in sturdiness. Next season, we’ll be starting with fresh faces and the same defensive philosophy that Arteta has already used to rejuvenate a dead defense. Namely, William Saliba, who has joined the club from Saint-Etienne and is looking to get his footing in the starting XI. Saliba can be what Arsenal wanted Mavropanos to be Saliba isn’t the first young defender ticketed for big things, however. It was just a few years back that Konstantinos Mavropanos made the exact same move

Arsenal reach Isco transfer decision

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has reportedly decided against making a move for Real Madrid star Isco due to the emergence of Emile Smith Rowe. The Gunners have been linked with a move for the 28-year-old midfielder for some time, but the Spain international remains at Real Madrid. Arteta is said to be a big fan of the attacker and what he could potentially bring to North London if he were allowed to leave the Spanish capital. However, AS report that Arteta has dropped plans to sign Isco after Smith Rowe sent a clear message. The 20-year-old has had to be patient and bide his time to force his way into contention, but following Arsenal's disastrous start to the season Arteta has placed his faith in the youngster. Smith Rowe has started three consecutive games for the Gunners, all three of which have been victories against Chelsea, Brighton and West Brom.
