Real Madrid Set to Offer James Rodriguez And a Whooping £70 million To Lure Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to the Bernabeu

The Colombian midfielder was a huge hit at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and finished as the top scorer with a succession of beautiful strikes.

But since his move to Real Madrid he has failed to perform and hasn't been fancied under several managers.

He was loaned to Bayern Munich last season and now Zinedine Zidane is keen to use him in a player plus cash deal to bag Arsenal's new captain.

The 30-year-old was signed by Arsene Wenger in 2018 and has scored 40 Premier League goals in just 55 starts, including 10 goals in just 16 appearances this term despite Arsenal misfiring.

Reports suggest he is keen to move on in the summer despite being handed the armband at the Emirates after Granit Xhaka's well-documented indiscretions last month saw him stripped of the honour.

Zidane reportedly wants to add Auba to an attacking trio that could rival Liverpool's. Namely Eden Hazard, who moved in the summer, the Arsenal man and PSG's Kylian Mbappe.

His current forward line, which includes the misfiring Hazard and Luka Jovic aren't doing what's required and the Gabonese striker could plug the gap in the Spanish capital.

Rodriguez, 28, has made nine appearances for Real this season, scoring just one goal and Zidane is keen to offload him.

But Marca report that the player would prefer to stay put and try to win back a place in the Madrid team.

Aubameyang In Arsenal's Training Ground at London Colney - Sky Sports

Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has now arrived at Arsenal's training ground at London Colney after his flight from Germany, according to Sky Sports.

A private jet containing the Gabon international arrived at Luton Airport at 2pm on Tuesday afternoon, less than an hour after leaving Dortmund airport.

Arsenal have agreed a deal worth around £60m with Borussia Dortmund for the 28-year-old striker.

While Dortmund have agreed a fee, Sky sources understand they will not let Aubameyang go until they find a replacement.

Olivier Giroud, Michy Batshuayi and Anthony Modeste are among the names being considered by Dortmund, who are looking to secure a signing before the Bundesliga transfer window closes at 5pm on Wednesday.

Aubameyang did not testify as planned at Monday's trial hearing over the attack on the Dortmund team bus in April 2017 because of illness, and was booed by a section of Dortmund fans during last Saturday's 2-2 Bundesliga draw with Freiburg.

A banner in the crowd read: 'No player is bigger than our club'.
