Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been tempted to move out of Arsenal in the summer and as per Ian Wright, the forward could try and secure an exit in order to win trophies.
A number of big clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and even Chelsea have shown interest in signing the player at the end of the season. So as per Wright, no one can really lay blame on the Gabon international if he chooses to leave.
“If I’m going to sit here and speak about Aubameyang at the stage of his career that he’s at, maybe wanting to win things, maybe one last chance and people are saying that Real Madrid are sniffing around him,” Wright told Sporf, as reported by Standard.
“He’s somebody with the way he’s scored goals in his career, he probably wants something to show for it… I know he’s won stuff in Germany.
“But if he did [leave]… if he was somebody that was tempted away, I’m not sure that people could really fault him at this stage because you look at Arsenal and the current plight, you have to say we’re going through a transitional period, coming off of [Arsene] Wenger, coming off of Unai Emery and now getting the coach that I believe is going to take us to the promised land.
“It depends totally on whether Aubameyang has the patience to wait for this to kick in but if he didn’t I’m not sure at his age what people could say, he’s somebody that deserves to be playing at a level where he’s able to win things.
“Depending on his ambition, his people around him and what they’re saying to him, how much he loves the club – and I know he loves the club immensely – you have to pray that’s going to be enough for him to stay.
“But I’m not going sit here and say anything other than I wish him all the best with what he does but I pray to God he stays at Arsenal.”
Where is Aubameyang likely to end up?
If Ian Wright is right then the forward will most certainly not be heading to either Manchester United or Chelsea next season.
Both these clubs just like Arsenal are in the rebuilding phase and will need a few more seasons before they can once again challenge for the Premier League trophy.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, are very much interested in Aubameyang and if he does more to the Bernabeu in the summer then he’s more or less guaranteed to win trophies – domestically as well as in Europe.
Also, if Arsenal are really looking to cash in on Aubameyang in the summer then the last thing they will want is to sell their best player to a domestic rival.
