Aubameyang is no doubt a great player and if you believe stats don’t lie as they often don’t in football, then you’d have to agree with the foregoing argument. The Gabonese striker has often been criticized for his lack of work-rate especially defensively even though is attacking leaves no room for second-guessing.
The 29-year-old whose contract expires in after the summer has refused to sign a new contract at the Emirates and draws interests from several top clubs around Europe with Real Madrid among those leading the chase.
In an interview after the Manchester United game, Aubameyang dropped a soothing balm on the heart every Arsenal faithful when he commented on his future saying;
The English Press likes to talk a lot. For now, I’m here. I’m 100% here.
The “for now” bit leaves little to desire but “for now” the fans can be breathe easy. Auba might yet sign a new deal depends on if the Gunners can climb back into European places and by some miracle return to the Champions League.
