Today’s gossip is back in the groove
You know the sound a star makes when it explodes deep in space? Well that’s the same sound that was made here on Earth when Arsenal let it be known they would listen to offers for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. That’s right, the rumour is that absolutely no one is interested in buying the Gabon striker, at least not at the price Arsenal are hoping for and the salary he currently gets.
It’s a shame. Aubameyang is a wonderful player when on song and it’s no fun to see him wither at a club to which he no longer seems suited. He’s 32 and the two remaining years on his contract could be awkward for all concerned if things don’t get sorted. Manchester City, this is your chance to do some good! Sign Aubameyang for about a 10th of the price that Spurs are demanding for Kane. It makes sense. Ideally for those of us in the news and views industry, Arsenal would then go and pay £150m to lure Kane to his boyhood club, but we have to accept that’s an unlikely outcome.
