Arsenal are reportedly still hopeful of agreeing a new contract with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang due to the club's strong relationship with the striker's father and agent.
Aubameyang has again been in impressive form for the Gunners during the 2019-20 campaign, scoring 20 times in 32 appearances in all competitions, including 17 Premier League goals.
The 30-year-old's existing deal at the Emirates Stadium is due to expire next summer, though, and a number of clubs are thought to be weighing up moves ahead of the 2020-21 season.
According to The Telegraph, despite the recent speculation, Mikel Arteta's side have not given up hope of convincing the Gabon international to pen fresh terms in London.
The report claims that Arsenal are optimistic that their strong relationship with the attacker's father and agent, Pierre-Francois Aubameyang, will help them agree a new deal in the coming weeks.
Barcelona are allegedly still weighing up a summer move for the Gunners captain.
