Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's £300,000-a-week wage demands are likely to force Arsenal to sell him this summer.
The 30-year-old Gabon striker is in talks over a new contract and his demands represent more than a 30 per cent increase on his existing deal, which would have netted him £200,000 a week if he met every bonus target, an impossibility given Arsenal are 10th in the Premier League and have just the FA Cup to go for.
Arsenal will struggle to afford such a contract so are increasingly resigned to selling Aubameyang at the end of the season, when he enters the last 12 months of his deal.
