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 the Emirates Stadium on a free-transfer.
However, according to a report by L'Equipe, Arsenal have now offered the pacey front-man a new deal in the hope that he will commit his long-term future to the club.
This news, as you can imagine, has got Arsenal fans talking, with plenty of them taking to social media to share their hope that the news is accurate...
