Aubameyang is in negotiations for a new Arsenal contract for months, with the new three -year agreement expected imminent.

“It will be fantastic for the club,” said Lauren. “You can’t go to the market and find another striker who will score the same amount of goals.

“In the last three years he has been the best player for Arsenal. So you have to sign this boy.”

Leave now that he lives in Seville, where he worked to earn his coaching badges, Lauren still looks at Arsenal on a regular basis.

And the 43 -year -old, who started as a midfielder before being transformed into a right -back from Wenger, believes that it is clear where things should be improved if his former club is at the jurisdiction for the best Hyonors of the Eleven game.

“We have to balance the attacker players with the defense,” he says. “If we manage to balance that Arsenal will be up there to fight to win the League.

“I hope that Gabriel (Magalhaes), with the help of the senior players who are already there, will help to balance this basic position you cannot win the championship or be up there to fight with Liverpool and Manchester City without balanced the defense.

“If we do it, convinced that the team will be up there.”

The arrival of Gabriel da Lille, together with William Saliba’s availability this season after his loan spell with Saint-Etienne, Showd has certainly helped Arsenal to improve defensive things in the next season.

But an area that are still trying to strengthen before the transfer window closes on October 5 is in central midfield, with Thomas Party of Atletico Madrid a priority objective.

The Ghana International is a player that Lauren knows well and one that the former Arsenal star believes that he would have a great impact on the Emirates Stadium.

“I’m at the best player,” he says. “He is improving below (Diego) Simeone.

“We have seen this boy from his first days with Majorca, so he approached a larger club with Atletico Madrid and continued to perform well, improving the year A, Apter Year.

“Before he was used to a seal midfielder. Now I can pass the ball, play with the attacker, take blows from the outside and even score important goals, ace that we saw last year in the Champions League.

“If Arsenal decides to sign it, I think it will be a fantastic Adion in the middle of the park.”

The hopes of the Arsenal to make an agreement for the party during the next four weeks will depend on the fact that they are Uble to move the players of the sum reasons to generate transfer funds under the subdated sub -Sostania.

One of those Coud players is Hector Bellerin, who is attractive interesting by the Champions League runners Paris Saint-Germain.

Arsenal is reluctant to separate from their right back, but also with Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Cedric Soares also part of the team, have coverage for Spain International.

“The fact that Ainsley is going well, perhaps this is the club’s thoughts,” says Lauren when Bellerin’s future is discussed. “Ainsley is going well, now it will come out with England and we may need inome to buy.

“But you need that all your players are doing well and winning things. You need a great team, great careful will arrive, the expenses will arrive, so you have to prepare and plan in advance.

“If you ask me personally, I have sticks with what I said. You need the complete team for competence in four competitions.

Arsenale Mesut Ozil

A player who seems sure he is still at the club after the transfer window is Mesut Ozil.

Arsenal is eager to obtain their highest gain from the wage invoice, but remains determined to see the last year of his contract before leaving as a free agent in 2021.

When his Eds contract next summer Ozil will be at Arsenal for eight years and Lauren says he wants to see Real Madrid’s former star ending his time north of London by removing a leaf from Aubameyang’s book.

“If you ask any fan of Arsenal all over the world, nobody will doubt Ozil’s quality,” says the former favorite of Gunners.

“Maybe what I’m about to say is a little risky, but I was like seeing Ozil’s mentality itself as we see with Aubameyang, every single game and every single year.

“This is the big difference between him and Aubameyang. Aubameyang is the one you can see in every single game without thinking about itself.

“So Mesut has to wait for his possibility, work hard and show the same commitment and the same combat spirit that the other best players have done, as Aubameyang did in recent years.”
