Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta says he is confident that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will sign a new contract.
There has been a lot of speculation over the future of the club’s captain but Arteta says he is optimistic the Gabonese will soon sign a contract extension.
The 31-year-old’s current deal with the Gunners is due to expire next summer where he would then be able to leave on a free transfer.
However, reports suggest that Aubameyang has agreed to extend his stay with the club and will sign a new three-year deal ‘imminently’.
Arteta now has confirmed that the forward will sign the new contract which will see him earn £250,000 a week,
I can say that I am even more confident than I was at the end of last season when you asked me the same question 10 times!” Arteta said.
“I am very optimistic. I think [those fans who are worried] can be pretty relaxed!”
