Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang FINALLY looks set to sign on the dotted line, with Arsenal fans having waited months for the deal to be done.
The Gabon international had been continually linked with the exit door as his contract ran closer and closer to it’s final 12 months on July 1, before those rumours slowly died down, and by August 1, when our team beat Chelsea to win the FA Cup, all reports pointed towards a new deal.
Six weeks down the line and we are still waiting, with worries increasing when the striker told social media followers that he couldn’t ‘sign da ting’ because he had no papers to sign.
Despite all the delays, very few of us still have doubts over the likelihood of the deal, but any such worries will surely end soon with an the player himself hinting that time could well be up.

Any keen onlookers will notice the difference between this tweet on August 16, and the one from today above…

Fabrizio Romano has also added to the latest tweet by our star striker, claiming that he turned down two offers in order to extend his stay in North London.

Luckily the ongoing saga hasn’t distracted the former Borussia Dortmund goalscorer, who has continued to smash in the goals whilst the contract situation was ongoing, and doing so with a huge smile on his face.
The club’s last key piece of business this summer will likely be strengthening our midfield options.
Fingers crossed that the next Aubameyang story to break is the announcement, as this has rolled on for long enough…

They’ve said to turn your notifications on…. omg this is it…..
Only to announce Balogun has signed a professional contract 😂😂😂😂
I just saw he’d tweeted the exact same emoji!! 🤪
Did you see Sheff Utd bid £3m for him, Eddie?
Or announce Runarsson perhaps……. 😂😀. They’ve already killed the hype with all that suspense. As long as he has signed, It doesn’t matter to me how long they take to announce it. News that’ll really excite me at this moment is “Partey signs for Arsenal” (or Aouar). I’d like to see Balogun sign a professional contract though, the guy has been prolific.
😁😁😁😁 guess that’s how unpredictable we should be playing games! Teams couldn’t know what hit them
Did he really? That would also be a good deal for us imo.
… and there will be much rejoicing! ♫♪
That tomorrow is here and now surely this should be the D day!💯
Arsenal’s website 👀
Live contract signing LOL
All done!!!
COTG!!!
3 years done! Official on Arsenal site 🥳🥳🥳
Have you ever noticed(he asked, needlessly, as everyone will have done so!) how Auba is never without a smile for long! A winning personality and a winning player too.
