Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil is set to be joined by the Gabon international striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang according to the latest reports.

The BBC state that Arsenal are close to agreeing a £60 million deal with Borussia Dortmund to sign Aubameyang.

The news will come as a boost to Ozil who has created an impressive 57 goalscoring chances this season while only registering six assists.

However, the BBC goes on to state that Dortmund will not sanction the transfer until they have a replacement lined up. Per the source, the Bundesliga giants are interested in signing Arsenal’s Olivier Giroud.

Ozil has been in impressive form for the north London based club in recent weeks but is yet to put pen to paper on a new contract. The 29-year-old could end up leaving Arsenal for free in the summer unless a new deal is agreed.

Arsene Wenger’s side are back in action tomorrow night when they take on Swansea City in the Premier League.
