Mikel Arteta’s decision to sell Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is one of the reasons why Arsenal are “playing out of their skin” at the moment, according to Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
Arteta took a hard line on Aubameyang earlier in the season, disciplining him for breaking team rules before freezing him out, stripping him of the captaincy and ultimately allowing him to join Barcelona on a free transfer in January.
Aubameyang was club captain and the main source of goals at Arsenal and the wisdom of leaving him out of the team was questioned by some at the time.
