Considering he'll be a free agent in 12 months this is the best scenario I could of imagined, its not like he's goal droughting either, on for the Golden boot two season in a row.
3 yr deal, sounds perfect to me, he's not going to forget how to shoot the ball within that time.
Sign him up!!

Can Aubameyang be that player until he is 35? I very much doubt that even if his fitness levels are great right now. Due to our precarious financial position, we have to get value for our money. I’m afraid we will not get our money’s worth if we give Aubameyang the deal he wants.
Besides, even if we keep him, can we be a top four side? To be brutally honest, I don’t see any way we will finish in the top four next season even if we keep Aubameyang. There are simply too many teams who are better than us in the league at the moment. We won’t have a lot of money to spend in either, so we cannot expect signings in the summer especially if we keep Aubameyang.
I still think we’re better off selling Aubameyang and reinvesting the cash in the squad intelligently. That is the only way we'll get out of this mess.

I agree, sign him now, that waste of space Ozil is getting money for fook all so I am sure Abua is worth what he is asking.

We have seen nothing to suggest Auba is past his peak or will stop scoring goals. No point pre-empting someting that may not happen. The signs are good with Auba so we should run with it. No point selling a top proven Premier League goal scorer for chump change.

As far as I'm concerned, the three-year deal kicks in after his current deal expires in 2021. That means he will be 35 by the time his contract runs out.
