Aubameyang Reveals What Arteta Told Him Before Dumping Arsenal

Former Arsenal captain, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on Tuesday revealed what Mikel Arteta told him before his exit from the club.

The Gabonese striker dumped the Gunners to join Barcelona as a free agent in the January transfer market after his contract with the club was terminated.

Aubameyang was stripped of the captaincy at the North London side following a disciplinary breach, which saw him dumped from the starting lineup.

The striker who had his first league start on Sunday scored a hat-trick in a 4-2 victory over Valencia.

Aubameyang while speaking on his move to Camp Nou said Arteta wished him luck ahead of his move to the club.

The striker while speaking with Mundo Deportivo said, “Yes, Arteta wished me luck at Barca.

“Some of the things we did with Arteta are similar.

“I still have to get used to it but I am eager to learn. When I see how the boys play I want to do the same.”
