Speculation surrounding Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's future at Arsenal has been ongoing for months, with his deal now in its final year. However, the forward's latest social media move suggests he may be set to sign a new contract with the club.
Aubameyang featured on an Instagram Live video with his brother Willy, which was later uploaded to Twitter. In the video, fans were able to send the striker questions and comments, with one supporter taking the opportunity to put Aubameyang on the spot.
"Blink if you're gunna sign," the fan said. Aubameyang then winked at the camera shortly after, before doing it again in a more exaggerated manner with a big smile on his face.
Reports claim Aubameyang has been demanding a bumper £250,000-per-week contract for a minimum of three years. Arsenal have shown signs of improvement under boss Mikel Arteta, who has always been keen for Aubameyang to stay, providing his captain is committed to the cause.
