Arsenal fans are adamant that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will sign a new deal at the club after the Gabon ace once again teased supporters over his future.
The 31-year-old has entered the last year of his deal at the Emirates and despite a lack of progress in talks over the last 12 months, Aubameyang’s representatives remain in negotiations with the Gunners.
Aubameyang is said to be demanding in excess of £250,000-a-week to stay at the club, as well as a three-year deal that would take him to his 34th birthday.
Arsenal are unsure if they can finance the deal given the uncertainty over the remainder of their league campaign. A place in the top-four remains an outside possibility but a Champions League spot would help to convince Aubameyang to stay, while it would also go someway to funding it.
Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli both signed new deals at the club last week, which gave supporters renewed hope that their captain will do the same.
Aubameyang went on an Instagram Live with his half-brother Willy and an opportunistic supporter asked the Gabon ace to ‘Blink if you’re gonna sign’.
As the comment pops up on Aubameyang’s feed, the Gunners captain makes a series of exaggerated blinks to indicated that he had seen the comment.
While hardly the final confirmation that Arsenal supporters were looking for, many fans were adamant that Aubameyang was hinting that he will sign a new deal.
