Please take him! Arsenal have urged European clubs to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after being frozen out of Mikel Arteta's squad... but Gunners fear his value has plummeted after he was stripped of the captaincy

Arsenal outcast Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s future at the club has become even more uncertain as European teams have been informed of the unsettled striker’s availability.

Sportsmail has also learned that Sead Kolasinac and Ainsley Maitland-Niles are set to leave the club.

Aubameyang, who has been frozen out of the first team and was stripped of the club captaincy after returning late from an authorised trip to France to collect his sick mother, is on Africa Cup of Nations duty with Gabon.
