The Daily Mirror believes Manchester United will switch their attention to Aubameyang, who has submitted a transfer request at Dortmund this summer.
Manchester United’s desire to land a new striker this summer has seen Wednesday’s papers link them with a move for Borussia Dortmund hot-shot Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
United are keen to recruit a centre forward this summer and have seen a move for Alvaro Moraro rejected by Real Madrid, while Torino’s Andrea Belotti has emerged as their Plan B.
The Gabon striker was claimed to have agreed a £61million move to PSG last week and while that deal has yet to be confirmed, the fees being bandied about for the other targets linked with United, surely makes Aubameyang an attractive prospect.
The paper goes as far to say that Aubameyang has held talks with Jose Mourinho and has offered him a five-year deal worth £200,000 a week.
Arsenal are emerging as favourites to sign Lyon’s France striker Alexandre Lacazette, according to a report on Wednesday.
The Sun claims the Gunners are confident of sealing a deal for the 26-year-old striker after meeting his representatives and offering him a deal worth £200,000 a week.
Lacazette has previously indicated he would only leave Lyon for a club in the Champions League, so any move to the Emirates would mark a rapid about-turn for the striker.
He had seemed set to move to Atletico Madrid, but their transfer ban seriously damaged the Spanish club’s chances. Liverpool, meanwhile, are also reported to have held talks for the striker.
But the paper claims Arsenal are in the driving seat after manager Arsene Wenger and chief executive Ivan Gazidis met with Lyon president Jean-Michael Aulas this week to thrash out a fee for the France international.
Lacazette scored 37 goals for Lyon this season and has been on Wenger’s shopping list for more than a year.
