Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is “too good for&nbsp;Arsenal” and the Gunners face a tough decision on whether to sell the striker at the end of the season or risk losing him for free in 2021, according to Jamie Carragher. Aubameyang, Arsenal's captain, has been with the club since 2018, taking in 97&nbsp;appearances, scoring 61 goals and laying on a further 13 assists for his north London team-mates.

With the Premier League set to continue beyond the 33-year-old's current contract, however, the club are hopeful Vertonghen will pen a short extension and see out the remainder of the season. The defender may opt not to do so though, with the risk of injury having the potential to scupper a move elsewhere.

Arsenal has decided to keep Barcelona target Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at the club during the final year of his contract unless a decent offer is submitted.

With offers for Aubameyang set to be around&nbsp;£20m ($25m), Arsenal might force the Gabon international to see out his deal at the Emirates, according to <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/11766995/aubameyang-arsenal-contract-transfer-value/" target="_blank">The Sun</a>.
