If Aubameyang Doesn’t Sign A New Contract, Sell Him – Nigel Winterburn

Arsenal will have a big decision to make on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at the end, Nigel Winterburn has said.

Nigel believes the London club will not get £80 million ($104m) for a striker who is entering the final year of his contract.

According to him, he hopes Aubameyang plays at Arsenal next season but the decision is up to the club because they cannot let him leave on a free.

He added that if Aubamyang will not sign an extension, he should be allowed to leave the club.

His words, “I hope Aubameyang will be an Arsenal player next season but they have a decision to make.

“Arsenal have never been a big spending club. His contract’s up next season and they’re not going to let someone run down their contract again, although they’ve got little opportunity if he wants to do that.

“If the indication is that he’s not going to sign, they may have to take the opportunity and say ‘right, we’re going to take £40 million or whatever’. I don’t think they’re going to get 70 or 80 that they’re talking about with a year left for a player that’s coming to 31 years of age.

“For me, it’s more important whether the player wants to stay, who comes calling in the summer, and do Arsenal take the risk or can they convince him to sign a new contract? At the moment, it’s so difficult to call.”
