‘Aubameyang leaving on a free would be criminal’ – Arsenal legend O’Leary wants ‘best price’ for contract rebel

The former Gunners star is not expecting a prolific frontman to commit to fresh terms, meaning that a buyer must be found in the next transfer window

Arsenal allowing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to run down his contract and leave as a free agent would be “criminal”, says David O’Leary.

A talismanic presence at Emirates Stadium is heading down that path at present.

No extension has been agreed to a deal due to expire in the summer of 2021, meaning that the Gunners may soon have to consider parting with a prolific frontman.

O’Leary believes that is the only option available to the north London giants, as they must ensure that they get the “best price” for a saleable asset before his value starts to diminish.
