Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang spoke over the weekend to clarify what’s going on with his contract at Arsenal which expires next season. That is to say, not very much.

Arsenal need to be prepared and will, of course, be looking around for a replacement.

That’s where the Iranian, Azmoun comes in.

He was once linked with Arsenal back in 2017 when he was playing for Rostov, but a move to London never happened, he moved to ZSP, and we haven’t heard about him since.
