Arsenal skipper Pierre Emerick Aubameyang enters the final year of his contract next month. The 30 year old striker is in the form of his life and won the Premier League Golden boot last season.
With Arsenal set to miss out on Champions League football next season, the Gabonese striker will most likely move to another club this summer. Below, we have compiled a list of three players who could replace the start striker at the Emirates Stadium.
Mauro Icardi
The Argentine is a world class forward on his day. He is currently at PSG where he is spending this season on loan from his parent club Inter Milan.
Icardi is a penalty box poacher just like Aubameyang and would be a natural replacement should the Arsenal captain leave. The only problem is his trouble making history but the same was said of Aubamenyang before he moved to Arsenal.
Raul Jimenez
A center forward who is very suited to the English game. He is very physical and brings others into play brilliantly, something Aubameyang fails to do consistently.
Jimenez also has an eye for goal as shown by his 13 league goals and six assists so far this season.
Gabreile Martinelli
Yes, Arsenal may not need to dive into the transfer market to buy a new striker. They already have the next big thing from Brazil at their disposal.
Martinelli is the second highest scorer at Arsenal despite being 18 years of age and in his first season at a European club.
He has proved that he can carry the goal-scoring burden for a club the size of Arsenal and Mikel Arteta could entrust him with the role as early as next season.
