Writing in his column for the Daily Star, Paul Merson has shed light on Aubameyang’s situation at the Emirates Stadium. He said:
Merson believes the Gunners could channel the liberated funds to sign a world-class replacement. He added:
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was Arsenal’s talisman prior to the 2021-22 season. The Gabonese forward played an instrumental role in helping Mikel Arteta win the FA Cup and the Community Shield back in 2020. However, since then the relationship between the player and the manager has soured.
Aubameyang had not played a game for the Gunners since their 3-1 defeat to Everton back in early December and was even stripped of the club captaincy.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has now joined Barcelona as a potential replacement for Sergio Aguero. The Argentine forward was forced to retire earlier this season after suffering from cardiac arrhythmia.
Arsenal return to Premier League action next week
Arsenal return to Premier League action next week when they travel to Wolverhampton Wanderers on the 10th of February. The Gunners have not played since their 0-0 draw with Burnley back on the 23rd of January.
Arsenal had an extended break compared to other teams following their defeat to Nottingham Forest in the third round of the FA Cup. Mikel Arteta’s side suffered a shock 1-0 defeat at the City Ground last month.
