Mikel Arteta has responded to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's suggestion the the Arsenal manager was the "only problem" in the breakdown of their relationship that eventually sparked the forward's exit.
The 32-year-old Gabon international joined Catalan giants Barcelona on transfer deadline day, agreeing to take a drastic pay cut from his eye-watering Arsenal contract to bring his time in north London to an end.
He left north London under acrimonious circumstances after a fall-out with his manager in early December which prompted Arteta to strip Aubameyang of the club captaincy and exile him from the first-team fold.
