Arsenal Transfers: 8 Late Deadline Day Deals Arsene Wenger Could Do

4. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

According to the Telegraph, Arsenal could be in with a chance of a surprising last minute move for Dortmund's highly rated striker. That comes after Dortmund's chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke told Sky that they would consider offers:
"If an offer comes, then we need to discuss it. But I'm not worrying about it because at the moment we want to keep him as long as possible, ideally beyond 2020."
It seems an odd link, since Aubameyang has actually already moved to quell transfer speculation earlier this month, name-checking Arsenal in an interview with Sport Bild:
"I still want to achieve lots with Dortmund. I am here and nowhere else - not at Arsenal, not at Barcelona, not on the moon - you can see that."
Perhaps it's the openness of Dortmund's chief that has inspired the link, but any concrete interest today remains to be seen.
