Mikel Arteta wants to keep captain ‘under any circumstances’Club confirms Lucas Torreira has fractured his right ankle
Arsenal will sit down with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang before the end of the season to assess the striker’s future intentions, Mikel Arteta has confirmed, with the manager stressing he wants to keep the club captain “under any circumstances”.
Aubameyang’s contract expires in the summer of 2021 and the prospect of losing their most important player, who has scored 61 goals in 96 appearances since his arrival two years ago, is unthinkable for Arsenal. Arteta, who admitted last weekend that
Champions League football would be a significant factor for any of his squad wavering about committing for the long-term, wants to set discussions in motion sooner rather than later.
