Tony Adams wouldn't sell Aubameyang for "any price"

Arsenal legend Tony Adams has hit out at the club's policy of selling their best players and fears they're set to lose Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this summer.

The Gabon striker is out of contract in 2021 and is being linked with a move away from the Emirates, with Inter Milan and Barcelona both reportedly interested in the 29-year-old.

Adams says he wouldn't sell the former Borussia Dortmund attacker at "any price" but fears the Gunners are about to lose another big name:

"Quite possibly, he could walk out the door", the double winning skipper told Sky Sports News.

"I loved Arsene Wenger's principles, that no player was bigger than the club, and he moved players on if it made sense for the club financially.

"He was strong with that and he got Champions League football every year but it did stand in the way of recruitment - so we have become a club that is selling the best players.

"If I was a coach I'd be saying 'don't sell Aubameyang at any price, we need to recruit, bring players through the academy and keep our best players'.

"I think recruitment at Arsenal for a good few years has not been great.

"Now we seem to be selling our best players and you are never going to recruit a championship squad selling all your best players."
