Wonder where he'll end up on the list of all time top scorers. I think top 5 is a realistic target if he can keep it up for the full length of his deal.

And get rid of some dead wood.
James Olley to talkSPORT: Aubameyang is done, when he comes from holiday, Arsenal will announce the contract extension.
Auba has too much swag. Not seen anything like it since The King.
When's he back from holiday? I'll rest easier when this is announced on the official website.
You'd have to think there would be more stories about wingers and strikers in the press if he wasn't going to sign.
Apart from the one we just signed. :doh:
But yeah, I would think so too.
He was on instagram yesterday with his brother and said 'hopefully good news for you guys tomorrow' but followed it up with 'I don't know'.
To be honest he/his family and Arsenal have been dropping hints for the past two weeks. It's pretty obvious it's done bar the formalities.
He was referring to the Gabriel deal. The “I dont know” was because Gabriel has a tendency to ask for more time to make a decision
Still no announcement eh?
This club love sucking the joy and happiness out of everything!
The alternative conclusion would have to be that Romano, Olley, Ornstein, etc don't have a clue what they're talking about and overreached in reporting that this was done. Why would we sit on this announcement for two weeks?
I wonder if Auba's keeping his options open to see if there's a concrete bid from a better club. Every day he hasn't signed that seems to become more likely.
He's waiting for Gabriel to make his decision first

Or... ... he's using his leverage to make sure we get our work done this summer.
It’s done lads, it’s obvious.
We always take an age to announce. It took us 2 months to announce Tierney.
Or...admin takes more time than we give it credit. Lots of hands need to shaked etc.
So much video editing, so little time.
With the previous talk of him wanting assurances re our transfer strategy, as yet I do not see anything to convince him to commit to a new deal.
Seen a video on reddit taken by someone supposedly on a stadium tour claiming to show Aubameyang film a video in the away kit.
He must be waiting to see what our plans are.
So far, possibly signing a centre back and every other rumour are for outgoings.
Partey seems dead in the water as well.
We literally have two midfielders if the outgoings are to be believed.
Joke.
Feels like a done deal to me. COVID slowing down the mechanics of everything most likely
