Arsenal 'willing to consider Barcelona swap deal for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang'

Arsenal are reportedly open to a part-exchange deal with Barcelona for former captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Having been stripped of the captaincy and dropped from the squad in recent weeks, the Gabon international is believed to be weighing up his options ahead of the January transfer window.

With Aubameyang out of contract in 2023 and set to turn 33 in the New Year, Arsenal could supposedly be open to offloading the ex-Borussia Dortmund man in 2022.

According to The Mirror, a swap deal with Barcelona could now be on the cards, with the Catalans keen to swoop for Aubameyang to resolve their attacking crisis.

The report claims that Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele are two candidates to make the move to North London, with the latter set to enter the final six months of his contract at Camp Nou.

Aubameyang has struck seven goals in 15 games across all competitions this season, but the 32-year-old remains uncertain for the Boxing Day clash with Norwich City.
