Premier League giants Arsenal appears to have named their price for want-away striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who has been linked with a move to join Barcelona this summer.

Although the Gabonese forward has one more year on his current contract with the Gunners, he will however not rule out a chance to join the Catalans.

The Camp Nou outfit signed Martin Braithwaite earlier this year after Ousmane Dembele suffered another major injury that ruled him out until the end of the campaign.
