Aubameyang could ‘walk out the door’ at Arsenal fears Tony Adams who admits Gunners have become a selling club

ARSENAL legend Tony Adams believes Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could be sold in the summer as his former employers continue to be a selling club.

In recent years the Gunners have offloaded a number of key players who were approaching the end of their contract including Robin van Persie, Alexis Sanchez and Samir Nasri.

And with Aubameyang's deal at the Emirates expiring in 2021, there are growing fears that the 30-year-old could be shipped off as Arsenal look to avoid losing him on a free transfer.

There has been speculation that the Gabon international could be available for just £30million - with Manchester United just one of the clubs reportedly keen on snapping him up.

Asked by  whether it is likely he will leave, he said: "Quite possibly, he could walk out the door.

"I loved [former manager] Arsene Wenger's principles, that no player was bigger than the club, and he moved players on if it made sense for the club financially.

"He was strong with that and he got Champions League football every year but it did stand in the way of recruitment - so we have become a club that is selling the best players.

"If I was a coach I'd be saying 'Don't sell Aubameyang at any price, we need to recruit, bring players through the academy and keep our best players'."

It has been claimed that Arsenal have ended negotiations with the striker as they accept the fact they will have to sell him at the end of the season.

SunSport exclusively revealed in March how the Red Devils are eyeing up a move for the ex-Borussia Dortmund marksman.

And Frank Lampard is understood to be interested in bringing him to Stamford Bridge with Chelsea closely monitoring his situation.

A move to Spain could also be on the horizon for Aubameyang, with both Real Madrid and Barcelona said to be admirers of the former Monaco and Lille loanee.
