    And with Sokratis expected to jet into the Emirates in the coming days, Arsenal’s head of recruitment Sven Mislintat seems he will continue his onslaught of pricing away quality legs from his former employers.

    Meanwhile, NAIJ.com previously had reported that Aubameyang has reportedly teased Gunners’ fans that a deal for his former teammate at Borussia Dortmund, Sokratis Papastathopoulos is done.
    The Gabon international moved to the Emirates mid-season from Dortmund and took to the social media to respond positively on a post linking Sokratis with a summer move to Arsenal.
