Arsenal legend Tony Adams believes that the club face losing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang during the summer transfer window and claims that their current transfer policy will prevent them from challenging for the Premier League crown.
The Gunners presently lie ninth in the standings, with the season still on hold due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
This mid-table position is in spite of the Gabon international’s heroics in front of goal, with the ex-Saint-Etienne and Borussia Dortmund forward having tallied 17 times, accounting for close to half of his club’s league goals this season.
“Quite possibly, he could walk out the door,” Adams told Sky Sports.
“I loved [former manager] Arsene Wenger’s principles, that no player was bigger than the club, and he moved players on if it made sense for the club financially.
“He was strong with that and he got Champions League football every year but it did stand in the way of recruitment – so we have become a club that is selling the best players.”
Adams hopes present boss Mikel Arteta will have some say in whether the star striker stays, as well as any potential signings.
The former centre-back revealed that he rejected the offer to move to Manchester United because of the ambition of the club in his playing days.
