Last season, he emerged joint-Premier League top scorer after finding the net 22 times in the EPL to share the prestigious Golden Boot award with Liverpool duo of Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.
However, Arsenal's defeat to Chelsea in the Europa League final and failure to qualify for Champions League sparked speculation the former Dortmund star could dump the Gunners.
He has since been linked with a move to China and Manchester United who are in the market in search for a versatile forward.
