Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been linked with Arsenal
That’s according to Shaka Hislop who’s backed the Borussia Dortmund sensation to replace the Chilean in north London.
Aubameyang has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates with Sanchez seemingly destined to leave the club.
The former Barcelona forward is out of contract at the end of this season and might be sold during this transfer window.
Aubameyang was vying for a departure from Dortmund during the summer, but a move failed to materialise.
He’s impressed in the Bundesliga this season.
The 28-year-old has scored 21 times in 24 appearances.
Hislop says the Arsenal faithful would welcome Aubameyang with open the arms.
The retired goalkeeper also reckons can help replace the pace lost by Sanchez.
"Speculation about Aubameyang was that he had signed a new contract a couple of months ago,” Hislop said.
"Then he came out and said no it’s still sitting on the table.
"Aubameyang to Arsenal makes lots of sense as a replacement for Alexis Sanchez.
"I think he wants out, I think he also brings the pace that Arsenal would lose with Alexis Sanchez.
"It would also go some way to appeasing the fans after losing such a big name like Alexis Sanchez.
"Still not on the level of Alexis Sanchez, but I think it comes very close.”
