PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN are weighing up a £35million move for Arsenal contract rebel Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, according to reports.

Barcelona have been heavily linked with a switch for Aubameyang as they delve into the market for a new striker.

But it's their European rivals who are braced to make the first move, reports .

With Edinson Cavani leaving on a free transfer and Mauro Icardi heading back to Inter Milan at the end of his loan deal, PSG will be left short of options in attack.

They will also have a huge wage budget to further convince the Gabon international that his future belongs in France.

While Arsenal will want to recuperate around the £56m they paid Borussia Dortmund in 2018, they know the power remains in Aubameyang's hands.

The club captain has scored 61 goals in 97 appearances for the Gunners but the club risk losing him for nothing in 12-month's time.

Former player Jeremie Aliadiere believes the club must cash in on the player this summer - even if it's for a much-reduced fee.

Boss Mikel Arteta appears to be planning for life without Aubameyang as he scouts Europe for his replacement.

Amiens striker Serhou Guirassy is one of the names on the shortlist having scored nine goals in 23 games this season.

Despite his best efforts, Amiens have been controversially relegated from Ligue 1, with the season having been ended after 28 games due to the coronavirus pandemic.

But it means Guirassy is almost certain to leave for a bigger club and is available for around £15m.
