'The club is sinking!' - Arsenal fans fume as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 'scraps' contract talks

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has reportedly put Arsenal contract talks on hold.

According to the Times, the Gabon international - whose deal at the Emirates Stadium expires at the end of next season - has concerns over the club's ability to qualify for the Champions League as well as competing for major trophies.

Furthermore, the report claims that Aubameyang won't commit whilst there's uncertainty over the future of head coach Unai Emery.

This stance won't come as a surprise to Gunners legend Martin Keown.

"They gave the job to Emery but that is beginning to look like it was the wrong move," he wrote in his column for The Mail. "Now the decision-makers at Arsenal have another big call to make: do they stick with Emery or look elsewhere?

"Arsenal are lost at the moment.

"If they decide to stick with Emery then the manager has big decisions to make himself.

"I warned against Arsenal signing David Luiz in August and I wonder if he should be taken out of the team now.

"Certainly star players like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Lacazette will not be signing extensions unless things change."

Given Aubameyang's importance to the Gunners, it's no surprise this worrying report has prompted a big response from supporters.
