Dortmund reject Arsenal bid

BORUSSIA Dortmund have rejected a bid in excess of £50 million from Arsenal for striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that the two clubs are in discussions over the Gabon international.

Aubameyang has been strongly linked with a move to the Emirates, while Olivier Giroud could head to Dortmund as part of a possible swap deal.

Arsenal’s club officials have been in Germany as they attempt to negotiate a deal.

Wenger revealed this week that he is neither “confident or not confident” about completing the signing.

He added: “You never know how close you are.”
