Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr are ready to sign Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on loan until the end of the season.
The Gunners are likely to consider offers for the Gabon international as the 32-year-old has 18 months remaining on his contract.
Aubameyang has returned to London from the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon for medical checks after being diagnosed with heart lesions following a positive test for Covid-19. The Gabon international did not take part in any of his National team’s group games at the tournament.
Asked about Aubameyang’s situation, Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta said: “He’s in London and now he’s going through some examinations because we haven’t had any clarity from the Gabon national team about the reasons why he came back.
“Obviously it’s our obligation to make sure that medically he is safe and in good condition. Historically, with everything we’ve done with the player, he has never had that issue.”
Aubameyang was stripped of Arsenal captaincy following a disciplinary breach and subsequently sidelined for a number of matches.
