Graham Potter has insisted that this weekend’s London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal shouldn’t be made solely about Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The focus is sure to be on the Gabon striker as he faces the Gunners for the first time since his acrimonious exit earlier this year. Aubameyang was ostracised from the senior Arsenal squad by Mikel Arteta for an alleged “disciplinary breach”.
The former skipper was allowed to leave The Emirates on a free transfer in January, initially joining Barcelona before returning to the capital at the end of the summer window. The public fall-out between Aubameyang and Arteta has remained in the headlines thanks to the fly-on-the-wall Amazon series which documented the entire saga.
