Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang must wait to make his £60million move to Arsenal after he was included in Borussia Dortmund’s squad for Friday night's trip to play Hertha Berlin.

The Gabon striker has agreed personal terms with the Premier League club as they seek a replacement for Manchester United-bound Alexis Sanchez.

Aubameyang's agent is believed to be in London to finalise the move - but the player remains in Germany.

Dortmund manager Peter Stoger told Bild : "He’s a Dortmund player, he trains and he’s in our plans for the upcoming match."

Aubameyang had been suspended by his club after he missed a team meeting last week.

The forward has told Dortmund there is no coming back from the incident which saw him miss their goalless draw with Wolfsburg on Sunday - his third internal suspension in just over 12 months.

Aubameyang has established himself as one of Europe's premier marksmen over the last few seasons and has been in incredible form in front of goal this term.
