"He is one of our possible movements but there are others."Arsenal lodged their first formal offer for the 28-year-old forward on Saturday, with reports suggesting that Dortmund value Aubameyang at £53 million. There are, however, no plans to bring in Bordeaux winger Malcom in January, with the Gunners having pulled out of the race to sign the Brazilian, at least until the summer months.Wenger was also asked about potential outgoings at Emirates Stadium, and insisted Danny Welbeck, who has been linked with Besiktas, will not be leaving the club. When asked if he would be loaning out the England forward, he added: "I want Danny to stay here."</blockquote>
