Borussia Dortmund star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has pleaded with the club to let him join Arsenal.
Aubameyang is determined to move to London and has told Dortmund of his desire to go this month.
It comes after Arsenal held talks with Dortmund over the £60million-rated striker, who is their No.1 target to replace Manchester United-bound Alexis Sanchez.
The Gunners do not want to pay anywhere near Dortmund’s asking price, but the Bundesliga club are keen on Olivier Giroud, who they tried to sign last summer.
Aubameyang has been dropped this season for disciplinary reasons, and has a close relationship with Arsenal’s head of recruitment Sven Mislintat.
Dortmund have publicly said they do not want the striker to go, but negotiations have taken place at the top level.
The 28-year-old has a bad-boy reputation and believes there is no way back for him at Dortmund after the latest fall-out but, as revealed by Mirror Sport, Mislintat has vouched for him on and off the pitch.
