WARNED: Ian Wright Warns Aubameyang On New Arsenal Deal

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been warned that he may be working himself into a weaker position by shunning a new contract at Arsenal, with Ian Wright saying there is no guarantee that he will find a top club and contract as a free agent.

As things stand, the Gabonese striker still has 12 months left to run on his current deal at Emirates Stadium.

No agreement has been reached, though, and big decisions may have to be made in the next transfer window.

The legendary Arsenal frontman said in the Express of a long-running saga surrounding Aubameyang: "If the season was still going and he continued scoring goals then he'd be in a strong position.

"But I think the position he's in now - we're talking about someone who's going to be 32 next summer.

"He is getting into a situation where if he does see that contract out, are the same people going to come for him?

"The contract what he's got on the table from Arsenal, is there going to be another club who's going to give him the same kind of contract?"

Arsenal cannot afford to see another prized asset walk away for nothing , with there plenty of willing takers ready to snap up a proven performer if he is made available on the open market.

Wright still hopes that a compromise will be reached that keeps Aubameyang in north London.
