Arsenal 'not expecting new Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang deal before summer'

Arsenal are reportedly resigned to not being able to tempt Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang into signing a new contract over the coming months.

With the Gabon international's contract only lasting until 2021, high-profile clubs are monitoring any developments regarding his future.

However, according to The Sun, the Gunners do not expect to make any progress in negotiations with the 30-year-old.

Arsenal are only regarded as outsiders to qualify for next season's Champions League, a significant factor in Aubameyang being prepared to delay a decision regarding his future.

Barcelona and Manchester United are said to be monitoring the situation, aware that they may be able to sign the attacker for a cut-price fee.
