Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang broke Arsenal fans' hearts as he took part in training with Borussia Dortmund on Monday.

The Gabonese striker was dropped by Borussia Dortmund for a 1-1 draw at Hertha Berlin amid speculation of a move to Arsenal.

Arsenal officials have reportedly arrived in Germany for talks over a move for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Dortmund have also asked about Olivier Giroud as a replacement for Aubameyang, who has held talks over a move to the Emirates.

But a straight cash deal is still being discussed with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger privately convinced that the Aubameyang deal is very close.
