Arsenal icon Paul Merson has claimed that Mikel Arteta and Edu were right to allow Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to leave the club in the January transfer window.
Aubameyang was stripped of the club's captaincy following a disciplinary breach back in December of last year and was subsequently left out of every matchday squad before joining Barcelona during the winter window. Since then, the Gabon international has enjoyed some excellent form, notching ten goals and providing one assist in just 14 outings for Xavi's side.
Still, Merson has said that he thinks offloading the 32-year-old frontman was the right call, even though the Gunners have struggled for goals in recent times, scoring two goals across their last four Premier League fixtures. Writing his column for Sky Sports, he said: "We’re all clever after the event so there’s absolutely no point looking back.
