Aubameyang only visited Arsenal when Giroud visited Chelsea
On the morning of January 30, the Gabon striker arrived in London. Before that, Arsenal nodded at the £60 million offered by BVB. This deal was quite exciting because the numbers that the "Gunners" had given before were all thrown away by the German club. Things are only going well with the winter transfer market still one day away.
However, Aubameyang's arrival in London does not mean he will sit at the table or undergo a medical examination at the Emirates Stadium. All negotiations have not yet been finalized and despite being in London for a day, there are no further images showing Aubameyang has been in contact with Arsenal's board.
Giroud only came to Chelsea when Batshuayi arrived at Dortmund
The key to the Aubameyang - Arsenal deal lies in whether Giroud will agree with Chelsea. Yesterday, British media simultaneously reported that Arsenal and Chelsea have reached an agreement on this transfer deal. However, this morning, France's L'Equipe said that Giroud had not agreed with Chelsea.
If Giroud had not come to Stamford Brigde, Aubameyang's move to Arsenal would not have been too necessary. Because if the Gabon striker joins the Emirates, Arsenal will have to give him a starting position, but so, what will Giroud do on the bench. Arsenal are known for their "trailers" and they do not want to sugarcane any player, especially those in the first team and who are paid £120,000/week.
Batshuayi only visits Dortmund when Aubameyang visits Arsenal
Chelsea have publicly announced their intention to buy a striker to share the burden with Alvaro Morata in attack. However, he can only be a reserve striker because Morata is the team's number 1 striker.
Michy Batshuayi is a reserve striker at Stamford Brigde and he can leave comfortably to find a new opportunity for himself. However, will Giroud go to Chelsea to reserve Morata? That is the biggest obstacle that has made the French striker not happy with the London blue shirt.
Chelsea have contacted Dzeko but have failed for the same reason. As for Andy Caroll, The Blues will never accept a £200,000/week salary for a "powerful" player like the former Liverpool striker.
The vicious cycle ends at the section where Batshuayi will go to Dortmund to replace Aubameyang. BVB would rather keep Aubameyang than exchange for a reserve striker at Chelsea. But when Aubameyang wanted to leave his shirt, the Rurh team also had a hard time keeping him.
All the answers will be answered in the early morning of tomorrow (February 1, 2018), when the winter transfer market in Europe will close.
