The 32-year-old recently returned to London from the Africa Cup of Nations for medical examinations after being diagnosed with heart lesions following a positive coronavirus test.

Following the medical check-up, Aubameyang posted on Instagram: "I came back to London to do some additional checks, and I'm very happy to say that my heart is absolutely fine and I'm completely healthy!!

"Really appreciate all the messages over the last few days and I'm already back at it."

Sky Sports News has been told Aubameyang was given the all-clear after an MRI scan and an Electrocardiogram (ECG).

It has yet to be decided whether the Gabon captain will return to Cameroon for the Africa Cup of Nations, with The Panthers set to face Burkina Faso on Sunday in the last 16. Aubameyang is yet to feature in the tournament for Gabon.

Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr have offered to sign Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on loan until the end of the season.

Al Nassr's loan offer also includes an obligation to buy.

The ex-Borussia Dortmund striker has 18 months left on his Arsenal contract and an exit in this transfer window would represent a saving of around £25m in wages for the rest of his contract.

Aubameyang has not featured for Arteta's side since the club's 2-1 defeat to Everton in the Premier League on December 6.

He has made 15 appearances across all competitions this season and scored four league goals.
