Arsenal 'willing to consider Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang bids'

Arsenal are reportedly ready to consider any suitable offers for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang during the January transfer window.

The 32-year-old has not featured for the Gunners since a disciplinary breach in December led to him being stripped of the captaincy.

Arsenal have improved significantly in his absence, strengthening their bid to qualify for next season's Champions League, and it appears increasingly unlikely that the Gabon international will return to the fold when he is back from the Africa Cup of Nations.

According to Sky Sports News, the North London outfit are prepared to assess any proposals for the striker over the next few weeks.

While Aubameyang's £350,000-per-week wages could prove to be a stumbling block, Arsenal are seemingly open to finding a resolution which suits all parties.

As it stands, Newcastle United and Barcelona appear to have registered the most interest in the attacker, who has 18 months left on his contract at the Emirates Stadium.
