Wenger needs some convincing over 'bad boy' Aubameyang

Up to three attacking players could leave Arsenal in January, and the Gunners have begun plans to bolster their front line for the second half of the season.

As they look to reinvest the money they will receive for Alexis Sanchez, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang emerged as a potential replacement, even though Arsene Wenger expressed concern over the player's behaviour.

However, according to 'The Telegraph', the club’s new head of recruitment, Sven Mislintat, assured the Gunners that they will not be getting a "bad boy". The striker has encountered several disciplinary issues this term after failing to secure a move away from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.

Having worked as a scout for the Bundesliga outfit for 10 years, Mislintat gave the Gabon international a positive character reference, reportedly describing him as "hard working and dedicated."
