Aubameyang himself is keen for the move to happen, as Sunsport revealed that the Gabon international grew up idolising Gunners legends Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Patrick Vieira & Co.
The deal should be going through over the next few days, with Arsenal gunning for new attacking players.

Although, both players have rumoured price tags of £40million.
