Arsenal identify replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Arsenal have reportedly identified Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard as a potential summer signing amid uncertainty surrounding Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s future at the Emirates Stadium, according to Mirror.

The Gunners are considering a bid for the France Under-21 international amid concerns about Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s future at north London.

Mikel Arteta’s side are keeping a close eye on the 22-year-old forward as a potential option to strengthen their attack for next season.

The report goes on to claim that Arsenal could face fierce competitions from Everton and Leicester City for the Frenchman following his impressive performances in the Scottish Premier League this term.

The striker could cost a transfer fee somewhere in the region of £30m if any interested club to cement their interest this summer.

Edouard contributed 22 goals and seven assists in 27 games for the Hoops.
