Report: Arsenal face battle to keep Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after he received £300,000-a-week offers from China

According to The Times, Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has received a £300,000-a-week offer from Chinese Super League duo Shanghai SIPG and Guangzhou Evergrande, and the Gunners now face a battle to hold on to their star.

The Far East moneybags attempted to lure the Gabonese during his days at Borussia Dortmund, but a £62 million move to Guangzhou Evergrande and £71 million deal from Tianjin Quanjian both fell through.

Aubameyang ended the 2018-19 Premier League campaign as joint Golden Boot winner after scoring 22 goals, but Arsenal’s failure to make next season’s Champions League could force them to cut cost.
