Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has responded to speculation suggesting that he could soon leave the Emirates by saying that he is “100 per cent here”.
Rumours concerning the Gabonese striker’s future have built steadily in recent weeks.
The January transfer window is now open, with it possible that official approaches could be made for Aubameyang before the window closes.
Barcelona are among those to have been linked with him, while Serie A giants Inter Milan are another team reported to be interested in his services.
It is easy to see why the 30-year-old would be attracting admiring glances from several clubs.
Since moving to the Premier League in the winter of 2018, he has recorded 56 goals in 90 matches.
With the Gunners struggling to make progress, it has been reported that Aubameyang may open himself up to a new challenge another side where his ambition can be matched.
He has, however, sought to refute claims that a move is imminent, with there no plans on his part to push for a transfer at the start of the year.
Quizzed on the exit talk after figuring in a 2-0 win over Manchester United on Wednesday, Aubameyang told RMC Sport: “The English press likes to talk a lot. For now, I’m here. I’m 100% here.”
That will be pleasing to the ears of Arsenal fans and the club’s new head coach, Mikel Arteta.
A recent 2-0 win over Manchester United is considered to be a positive step in the right direction for the club.
However, there remains a nine-point gap to the Premier League’s top four, but that could be bridged if consistency can be found in the team.
Aubameyang will have a huge role to play over the second-half of the campiagn, as Arsenal captain and their most productive attacking weapon in the team.
