Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is set for a reunion with Mikel Arteta this weekend as Arsenal face off against Chelsea on Sunday afternoon. The former Gunners captain could start the game in what will be his first appearance against his previous club since leaving earlier this year.
The exit came in difficult fashion as the Gabon international was cut adrift from the first-team squad after breaching disciplinary procedures. The relationship between Aubameyang and his manager seemed fractured, enough for the club to decide he should leave as his contract was terminated by mutual consent in late January.
The striker then secured a move to Barcelona for a few months before switching back to London with rivals Chelsea, setting up the meeting of sides again. A video of the 33-year-old emerged from his time in Catalonia, aiming a dig at his former boss by claiming he couldn't deal with big characters.
