Rio Ferdinand believes that the decision to sell Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has worked out well for both the player and Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal agreed to mutually terminate their former captain's contract on transfer deadline day after his extended absence from Arteta's side following a disciplinary breach in December.
As there was no way back for him at the club, it was seemingly the best option to part ways with the Gabonese striker - a decision that has worked out well for both player and Arteta, according to Ferdinand at least.
