Former Arsenal striker Charlie Nicholas tips Manchester City to join the likes of Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid in the race for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Former Arsenal striker Charlie Nicholas believes that Manchester City will join the race to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is out of contract at the Emirates next summer.

The Gabon international has been the subject of widespread speculation regarding his future recently, with Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona are all rumoured to be keeping tabs on the Arsenal captain.

Nicholas believes that Pep Guardiola's side could view Aubameyang as a potential replacement for Sergio Aguero, but has also expressed his opinion that the 30-year-old is not desperate to exit the Emirates.

Speaking to Sporting Life, Nicholas said: "I do not think Aubameyang is seeking to leave. He was only a star at Borussia Dortmund. If he is thinking about leaving, are Manchester United going to give you more opportunities as it stands? I do not think so.

"Would he get into Liverpool's side? No. Manchester City could be an option so that he could replace Sergio Aguero, but the only alternatives are two giants of Spain, but I do not think he is that type.

"If it was City or the two giants, I would accept it, but the rest I cannot be convinced that he would be guaranteed game time.

"The signs are still promising, but the weakness of Arsenal to deliver contracts is what terrifies me more than anything. My gut feeling is that he will be sold to allow the restructure of Mikel Arteta's team."

Aubameyang has registered 17 goals from 26 Premier League outings this term.
