The Arsenal fans in the Transfer Tavern are hoping for a swift resolution to the Alexis Sanchez transfer saga.
The resident Gunners in the tavern are growing tired of hearing reports concerning Sanchez’s future at Arsenal, and they are eager for a deal to be wrapped up by the end of the week. Sanchez’s departure will undoubtedly be a major blow to Arsenal’s diminishing Champions League hopes, and if they fail to sign a replacement for the Chile international they will almost certainly be forced to settle for a Europa League place this season.
Plenty of Arsenal supporters on Twitter have been eager to discuss a number of potential replacements for Sanchez this month based on reports in the British media.
And the latest report to emerge from The Daily Mail concerns Borussia Dortmund talisman Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is supposedly a £53 million target for The Gunners this month.
Although Aubameyang is a different type of player to Sanchez and doesn’t represent a like for like replacement, the Arsenal supporters are firmly backing Arsene Wenger to make a move for his services by the end of the month.
Considering Aubameyang has already scored 21 goals from his opening 23 matches in all-competitions for the German giants, it is easy to understand why the majority of supporters are so enthusiastic about a potential deal.
Here’s what the Arsenal fans had to say about the potential of signing Aubameyang this month…
Please god let this happen
