Arsenal 'confident of signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund'

Arsenal are reportedly confident of getting a deal done to sign Borussia Dortmund attacker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Gunners are expected to have two vacancies in attack in the coming days, with Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott heading towards the exit door.

The former is believed to be closing in on a switch to Manchester United, while Everton are in talks to sign Walcott.

According to The Guardian, the North London outfit have held productive talks with Dortmund over Aubameyang, who for the second time this season was recently dropped from the squad for disciplinary reasons.

The publication claims that Arsenal's new head of recruitment Sven Mislintat could be instrumental in getting the Gabon international to the Emirates, as he signed the forward for Dortmund in 2013.

Young Brazilian forward Malcom, who currently plays for Bordeaux, is also believed to be edging closer to a move to Arsenal.
