Arsenal boss Unai Emery has confirmed the club are currently “working on” new contracts for forwards Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Aubameyang’s existing deal is set to keep him at the Emirates Stadium until 2021, while Lacazette is committed to the club until the end of the following season (2022).

“They are very important players and their contracts need to be in the same balance,” said Emery via Goal as cited by The Mirror.

“It’s one circumstance, one issue now, that the club is working on.

“Edu is here for that reason. There’s also Raul [Sanllehi] and Huss [Fahmy], working with the players for that.

“I want the best for the club,” the Spaniard added. “And I want the best for the players.

“I think if the club and they are speaking about that, it’s perfect.”
