Why Aubameyang wants Arsenal move

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang reportedly wants to join Arsenal because of his father’s admiration for Arsene Wenger.

The Gabon striker remains on Arsenal’s wishlist in the final days of the transfer window after the Gunners had two bids rejected for his services.

The Sunday Times reports Wenger is well respected by Aubameyang Snr, who played in France in the 80s and 90s - and the family believe it would be a good move for the Dortmund star.

Yaya played for Laval, Le Havre and Toulouse and also featured 80 times for Gabon.

He is now currently employed as a scout by AC Milan, where his other sons have previously been on trial.
