Arteta unfazed by Aubameyang exit talk despite Arsenal failing to extend striker’s contract

Mikel Arteta remains unfazed by the exit talk surrounding Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at Arsenal.

The Gunners are yet to tie their prolific Gabonese striker to a new contract in north London.

His current terms are only due to run until 2021, with it suggested that a big decision will have to be taken on his future this summer.

Arsenal would be running a risk if their club captain was allowed to enter the final 12 months of his deal and edge towards free agency.

Sanctioning a sale would also represent a sizeable gamble, though, as they would be parting with a proven performer at the very highest level.
