All the latest Arsenal transfer news and rumours from across the British and European press on Monday, January 29.

Arsenal are close to agreeing a fee of around £60m for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with Borussia Dortmund, according to Sky sources.

It is understood that talks are ongoing between the clubs, but a deal has not yet been reached for the striker.

Arsenal had a bid in excess of £50m rejected, with Dortmund's sporting director Michael Zorc saying they would only let the 28-year-old go if their demands were met. It is understood they are holding out for £60m.

One source told Sky Sports News on Sunday night that Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud may yet be involved in a deal to bring Aubameyang to the Emirates.

Meanwhile, Aubameyang's pending arrival means Arsenal will allow Giroud to move to Chelsea should their London neighbours meet the 31-year-old's £35m valuation, writes the Daily Mail.

The Daily Mail also reports that the Gunners are reluctant to let defender Rob Holding leave on loan following an enquiry from Burnley.
