The Gunners are understood to have approached the German club for the Gabon international, according to The Sun.
And Spanish publication Don Balon claim Liverpool are also keen on the in-form striker, hoping to use Jurgen Klopp's connections to complete a deal.
However, despite the transfer talk, Dortmund's CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke is not concerned and says the club can hold onto their top talent.
Citing Mats Hummels and Ilkay Gundogan as examples, he said: "Where are they right now? Still here.
"At this stage, Borussia are very much capable of making financially interesting offers to players.
"Add the sporting element and the BVB environment to it and we don't need to hide from anyone.
"We might not have as much money as the top stars in Premier League, but we can offer a lot of other things. For instance, our players were able to celebrate Christmas."
And Watzke claims Aubameyang is a 'relaxed guy' and is not worried he could have his head turned by outside interest.
"He's under contract until 2020 and those situations are not new for us," he added.
"We've been one of the bigger clubs in Europe for the past five, six years, and are seventh in the UEFA ranking.
"It's just normal that our players attract attention."
Aubameyang is being valued at £42million and is enjoying a stunning season in the Bundesliga, netting 17 times in 18 appearances.
