La Liga outfits Barcelona and Sevilla are reported to be keen on giving former Arsenal captain, Aubameyang a lifeline
By Kehinde Okeowo
Two La Liga clubs Sevilla and Barcelona have been named as two possible destinations of Gabon international and former Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The striker who is back at the club following his early release from the African Cup of Nations has been training away from the club’s first team after breaching a disciplinary rule.
According to justarsenal.com, it is unclear if the 32-year-old would be reintegrated into the group soon or be allowed to ply his trade elsewhere.

Mikel Arteta’s side has done well in his absence, though they have wobbled in their recent matches and they are yet to win a game in 2022.
There is however a consensus at the club that since Aubameyang was not in top form when he was in the team, the Gunners can still achieve their goals without him.
As he remains on the sidelines, other clubs are paying attention to the developments at the Emirates.
He has been linked to Newcastle United and Chelsea in the English Premier League but AS says Sevilla and Barcelona are keen to add him to their squad if the chance arises.
His salary however will be a major problem, but justarsenal.com further reported that the out of favour striker may join either club if Arsenal agrees to subsidise his wages.
