Former Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has suggested Mikel Arteta's inability to manage big characters played a part in the pair falling out.
Aubameyang began last season as captain of the London side, but was stripped of the armband midway through the season after a disciplinary breach. The club went on to offload him to Barcelona without receiving a transfer fee, and he then returned to London in August with a deadline day move to Chelsea.
In the months since the Gabonese striker's Arsenal exit, theories on the relationship with Arteta have spread, either from players themselves or on the All or Nothing documentary. As Arsenal continue their impressive start to the season, beating Liverpool on Sunday to keep themselves top of the table, some more words from their former skipper have come to light.
