Last season's Bundesliga top scorer is now odds-on to make the move to the Emirates.
It looks increasingly likely Arsenal will offload Alexis Sanchez this month to one of the Manchester clubs, meaning the Gunners are actively looking to find a replacement to fill the rather large void that will be left by the Chilean.
Recent reports suggest Borussia Dortmund’s leading scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a top target and it is thought the forward would cost in the region £60 million. The Gabon International was left out of the Dortmund squad on the weekend for ‘disciplinary reasons’, fuelling speculation he is itching for a move away.
In the last 24 hours, Aubameyang’s odds have been dramatically slashed to join Arsenal this window from 16/1 to 4/6. Punters have also been piling in, Arsenal accounting for 72.3% of all bets on the market in the same time frame compared to just 7.2% being on him stay at BVB.
Other targets linked with the Gunners include Bordeaux winger Malcom, who is 2/7 to move the Emirates this month whilst Henrikh Mkhitaryan is evens, the Armenian being touted as a potential makeweight in Man Utd’s offer for Alexis Sanchez. Thomas Lemar was Arsene Wenger’s main target in the summer yet he is now out to 6/1, with Liverpool at 7/2 his most likely move according to the bookies.
Oddschecker spokesman, George Elek: 'You can forgive Arsenal fans for not getting too carried away after rumours emerged about the Dortmund marksman making the switch to the Emirates, Wenger's team have a successful record of being linked to the best strikers in world football, but that falls short when it comes to actually finalising the deal, so punters piling in at odds-on should approach with caution.'
