Graham Potter makes humble Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Chelsea claim after bitter Arsenal fallout

Graham Potter believes people have formed the wrong impression of Pierre-Emerick Aubemayang following his acrimonious exit from Arsenal – with Chelsea's head coach describing the forward as a "really quiet, really humble, nice person who wants to support the team."

Aubameyang spent four years with Arsenal but left in February after a complete breakdown in his relationship with Mikel Arteta. During his final weeks at the Emirates Stadium, the 33-year-old was stripped of the club captaincy and forced to train away from his teammates due to what Arteta cited as a disciplinary breach ahead of a match against Southampton.

It was later revealed in All or Nothing: Arsenal – the fly-on-the-wall documentary released by Amazon – that Arteta had kept a dossier of Aubameyang's perceived misdemeanors. It came as no surprise that he and the club parted ways in January by mutual consent and the former Gabon international joined Barcelona.
