Arsenal legend Martin Keown has singled Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang out for praise ahead of the Gunners’ meeting with Manch🍃ester City.

The 32-year-old didn’t have the best season last time out, 💎getting🎐 just 10 Premier League goals.

And Arsenal haven’t started the season well, losing their opening🅘 tw🐈o league games.

However, the Gunners picked up a huge confidence boost i༒🎐n midweek.

Mikel Arteta’s charges ran out 6-0 winners at West Brom, with Aubameyang netting🍨 a hat-trick.

The Arsenal captain’s heroics came amid speculation linking him with a move away.

, Juventus are eyeing the former Borussia Dortmund ace, who in turn is apparently keen on leaving Arsenal.

However, Mikel Arteꦕ꧟ta earlier this week that Aubameyang isn’t in line for a sale.

And ahead of Arse𓆉nal’s trip꧒ to Manchester City, Keown praised the veteran marksman.

“Mikel Arteta says he feels as if his back is pinned against the wall aღnd that criticism is coming in from all angles,” he wrote in the .

“Unfortunately this comes with the territory of being in charge of a big♛ club.

“If yo🥂u lose, the pressure is on. If you ma🅷ke mistakes tactically, then it will be highlighted.

“Wednesday’s 6-0 Carabao Cup win at West Brom showed — albeit against inferior opponꦑents — that there is quality in the squad.

“Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang looked♒ pure class, desp🎃ite recent reports which claimed Arsenal were ready to sell him.”
