Former Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry says he hope Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang remain at Emirates Stadium.
It's been reported that thr Gabon international has a year left on his current contract with the Gunners.
Henry told Sky Sports of the decision facing Aubameyang: “Everybody will do whatever they have to do. How am I going to say to someone to stay when I left? Things happen but that doesn’t kill the love that you have for a place.
“As an Arsenal fan you want him to stay, but as a football player he will assess the situation with his family, with his dad, and see what is the best for them."
It's been learnt that Gabon international is yet to extend his contract, and he has been linked with move away.
Henry continued :“If you’re an Arsenal man then you don’t want him to leave, but the guy has a career and I don’t know what’s in his head.
Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona are all in the race to sign the former Borussia Dortmund star.
“All I know is that we are definitely going to miss his goals if he does leave. He does score goals and if you take the goals of Aubameyang away, it’s a tough one, "he added.
Aubameyang signed for Arsenal in for a deal worth £56 million (€64 million). He became the most expensive Gabonese player of all time.
In the 2018/2019 season, Aubameyang won the Premier League Golden Boot which was shared with Liverpool duo Sadio Mané and Mohamed Salah as they ended the season with 22 goals
The former Barcelona added: “I respect people and what they have to go through and what desire or dream they have, but as an Arsenal man, any Arsenal fan would be crazy to say he should leave.
“I don’t want him to leave, but on the other side you have to understand the guy has a life and maybe he needs to see something else. Who knows? I hope that he stays.”
