Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has urged the club to hold contract talks with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang before the season draws to a close.
The Gabon striker's current deal expires in 2021, at which point he could leave on a free transfer.
Arteta said:
"We will have to do that at some stage before the end of the season for sure, and we will see the intentions that we have [and] his intentions.
"Where we are sitting in [the table at] that moment. I think it is difficult to predict that context right now.
