LIVERPOOL 'TO HIJACK' PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG
CHINA MOVE.
Liverpool are
reportedly gearing up to hijack Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's
proposed move to the Chinese Super League.
The
28-year-old has 13 goals in 15 league appearances for the Bundesliga outfit so
far this season but is believed to be up for sale after a series of
fallings-out with manager Peter Stoger and his
predecessor Peter Bosz.
On
Tuesday a
report suggested that the Gabon international was in
"advanced" talks with Guangzhou Evergrande over a
£63.5m switch, but according to Le Sport 10 today, Liverpool
are preparing to enter the fray with their own big-money bid.
Aubameyang
has previously worked with Reds manager Jurgen Klopp during the latter's
stint in charge of Dortmund and is one of several potential replacements
for Philippe Coutinho, who sealed a £142m
switch to Barcelona over the weekend.
Arsenal have
also been linked with the player in recent seasons but Gunners manager Arsene Wenger last week dismissed
reports that the club could bid for him as "not a
possibility".
