And Spanish journalist Kike Marin claims Arsenal have made their move for the 26-year-old.

It would break their current transfer record, held by Mesut Ozil when he was bought from Real Madrid for £42.5m in 2013.

 

Earlier this week, rumours suggested a transfer was close after Aubameyang missed a training session.

However, the club confirmed he had been given permission due to a "personal appointment”.
