ARSENAL will NOT sell Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to finance their £ 72 million purchase of Nicolas Pepe.

The Gabonese international has been linked to a move to Manchester United, but the Gunners are not under any pressure to sell despite speculation that they had only 40 million pounds to spend this summer.

Journalist David Ornstein said:[Pepe] Tracks back, works hard, which will please Unai Emery.

"He can also operate in a striking force of two men if necessary in a 4-4-2 formation.

"It's a good prospect that he plays in the same team as Aubameyang, Lacazette, potentially [Mesut] Ozil and others.

"I am told that this will not mean a significant departure.

"People like Aubameyang, Lacazette, will not leave Arsenal this summer to help finance this deal."

Earlier in the day, Arsenal general manager Vinai Venkatesham badured fans that the club had significant funds to spend.

He said, "I do not recognize this figure of 40 million pounds, I read it a lot. It does not come from us, it does not come from the club. The numbers never come from us. "
