Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has revealed he and his teammates will "welcome back" Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to the Emirates Stadium this evening.
Aubameyang spent over four years with the Gunners from 2018 until 2022 where he scored 68 Premier League goals in 128 appearances for the north Londoners. The 33-year-old captained the side from November 2019 until March 2022 and in that time, he lifted the FA Cup for Arsenal. However, he was stripped of the captaincy in March of last year due to disciplinary reasons.
Supporters got a brief taste of what happened behind the scenes thanks to the Amazon documentary series, 'All or Nothing', that followed Arsenal around last season. It showed a furious Mikel Arteta ranting about Aubameyang's multiple discipline issues during his time at the Emirates, which effectively led to him moving to Barcelona on a free transfer in the summer of 2022.
