Arsenal boss Arteta raves about Aubameyang

Asked about what reception he wants Arsenal fans t🥀o give Aubameyang, : “Say thank you, paying their respect and gratitude for what he was.

“He was an incredible player for us, scored a lot of goals, he was our captain and he deserves that.🐎 They should say thank you and be grateful.”

The forward has only played 14 league ജgames this season, scoring just one goal.

He was left out of the Champions League squad by♋ 💛Graham Potter as Chelsea continued to struggle goals.

Aubameyang was brought in at the request of his old boss Thomas Tuchel last su🌺mmer.

However, th💜e German was dismissed just days later.

Aubameyang’s record at Ar🃏senal deserve some of the praise Arteta has asked Gunners💦 fans to provide.

He scored 92 go🤡als 💜in 163 games, which is a phenomenal record.

However, it was clear that his time at🥂 The Emirates was coming to an end when it did, and he 𒅌was eventually released to join Barcelona.

It would be a cruel twist of fate if Aubameyang was the player to end Arsenal’s title hope🎶s this evening.
