Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang open to Monaco move

Saint-Etienne forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has plenty of options this summer but favours a move to Monaco should they make an offer, according to the player's father.

The 23-year-old has been linked with the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United and Borussia Dortmund this summer.

Pierre Aubameyang, who also acts as his son's agent, confirmed that talks of a move to Germany are ongoing, but insisted that an approach from Monaco would be seriously considered.

"Much of the Germany talk is true, but proposals come from everywhere." Aubameyang senior told RTL. "I believe that we will be able to continue the discussions.

"Monaco? If they come see or see me directly, it is clear that there will be an exchange with them.

"When you see the Monaco project, this will be a serious competitor of PSG. This kind of club will be successful in a year or two. That is what I am now looking for my son."

Aubameyang scored 22 goals in 44 appearances for Saint-Etienne last season.
