Mikel Arteta believes Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's future at Arsenal could be influenced by the outcome of tonight's FA Cup final against Chelsea as the Gunners try to convince the Gabon international to extend his contract. Aubameyang, 31, has just one year left on his deal at the Emirates and given Arsenal's financial predicament, it would make sense to sell in the close season if he cannot be convinced to prolong his contract.

Despite his strike rate as one of Europe's deadliest forwards over the past six years, Aubameyang has just two major trophies to his name with cup wins at St Etienne and Borussia Dortmund. Arteta captained Arsenal to two FA Cup wins during his playing career and believes experiencing that success could convince Aubameyang to trust the club are going in the right direction.
