Barcelona and Juventus submit an official offer for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang-Arsenal

Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been linked with a move away from the London club this month, and it appears that the Premier League giants have received official approaches from the likes of Barcelona and Juventus.

According to a report from The Athletic, the 32-year-old could join the European giants on a loan deal until the end of the season.

The striker has been quite disappointing in terms of performances this season, and he was recently stripped of the club captaincy after a disciplinary breach.

It will be interesting to see if Arsenal are willing to accept the approaches from Barcelona and Juventus over the next few days.

Both clubs could use some attacking reinforcements, and Aubameyang could be a useful option until the end of the season.

The 32-year-old is still a top-class player on his day, and a move away from Arsenal could help him regain his confidence.

It remains to be seen whether Barcelona are able to afford the strikers wages of around £350,000 per week. The Spanish club are going through a financial crisis right now.

The Gunners will be hoping to finish in the top four this season, and they cannot afford to weaken their squad midway through the campaign. Letting Aubameyang leave on a loan deal would leave them with Alexandre Lacazette and Gabriel Martinelli as their only striking options.

 Eddie Nketiah has been linked with a move to Newcastle United this month, and a deal could be finalised before the transfer window closes.
