Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been critical of Mikel Arteta since his departure from Arsenal in the last January transfer window. The striker has now gone on to claim that the Gunners’ boss cannot handle big characters and instead focuses on young players.
If this was the case, then Arteta would certainly be justified as just hours after the video emerged on social media as a clip was taken from a video called A Jewellers, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka proved crucial in helping the Gunners beat Liverpool.
Both youngsters have been phenomenal for Arsenal over the last year and a half, with Arteta playing a major role in their development. Aubameyang’s comments were certainly harsh, but the Gunners’ performances this season shows why Arteta was right to offload the former captain in Aubameyang.
