Arsenal to sanction the sale of Aubameyang and Lacazette?

Arsenal could reportedly sanction the departure of both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette as part of the summer rebuild.

Aubameyang's current deal with the Gunners expires at the end of next season and so far, he has shown no intent of signing an extension with the club.

Elsewhere, Lacazette has more than two years remaining on his existing deal but his future remains doubtful, having fallen down the selection order under Mikel Arteta.

According to The Express, the north London giants could part ways with the front duo during the next transfer window and Arteta plans to utilise the funds smartly.

Ryan Fraser, who will be available on a free transfer from Bournemouth, has been earmarked as the primary target while the club are also keen on landing Luka Jovic from Real Madrid on a temporary deal.

Should that be the case, the club will have most of the transfer funds to strengthen other areas of the field including the holding midfield and central defensive positions.
