Aubameyang has one year left on his contract and is yet to extend his deal with the London club. If Arsenal is to leave any sort of impression on the division, they are going to require their captain Aubameyang.

Mikel Arteta will hope to close in on the top 4, if not enter at all. If this is to happen, Aubameyang will be the catalyst of any sort of climb up the table.

For Salah, the Egyptian will be looking to retain the Premier League with Liverpool. The Scousers will also look to challenge for the UEFA Champions League once again.
