Former Premier League players Darren Bent and Lee Dixon have suggested on TalkSport that Mikel Arteta should not bring back Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang into the starting line-up against Brighton. Arsenal ended their barren winless run of seven games after beating Chelsea 3-1 last week in the London derby. Arteta will be hoping to turn Arsenal’s season around with back to back wins now. The Gunners travel to Amex Stadium to face Brighton, and the Spaniard has a selection dilemma. It has been widely reported that Aubameyang will return to the team after recovering from a calf injury but Bent wants Arteta to stick with youngsters and keep the Gabon striker on the sidelines. Speaking on the talkSPORT Breakfast Show, Bent said: “I wouldn’t bring Aubameyang back. I wouldn’t bring an...
Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno says there is no time for the players to feel sorry for themselves after an eighth Premier League defeat of the season ramped up the pressure on manager Mikel Arteta. Sunday is an unhappy first anniversary for the Gunners boss as he reflects on a 2-1 reverse at Everton that extended their winless run to seven league matches and left them just four points above the Premier League’s bottom three. “A lot of things are going wrong for us but we don’t have time to feel sorry for ourselves, we have to fight for every ball, for our team-mates,” said Leno. “Now the confidence is not at the top level but the only thing that can be said is we should stick together and come out of this situation.” The 28-year-old German said Arsenal showed a good attitude in the second h...
Watford striker Troy Deeney gave his take on the current form of Arsenal star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on talkSPORT (7:40am, October 26, 2020). Aubameyang is arguably the best player on the books of Arsenal at the moment and is a proven goalscorer. According to WhoScored, last season, the 31-year-old striker scored 22 goals and provided three assists in the Premier League and scored three goals in the Europa League for the Gunners. During the 2018-19 campaign, the Gabon international scored 22 goals and provided five assists in the league and scored eight goals and gave two assists in the Europa League, according to WhoScored. However, the former Borussia Dortmund star is struggling for goals at the moment. Aubameyang has scored one goal and provided one assist in six Premier League games...
Arsenal got their Premier League season off to the perfect start with a 3-0 win at Fulham on Saturday – and Alexandre Lacazette says perfection is exactly what Mikel Arteta expects. Lacazette’s record-breaking early finish was added to by goals from Gabriel Magalhaes and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, with newcomers Gabriel and Willian particularly impressing. Arteta will want his players to keep their feet on the ground after beating a side freshly promoted from the Championship, but the forward took heart from their performance. “It was the best way to start the season,” Lacazette told Arsenal’s official website. “We wanted to win today and get the clean sheet. Defensively I think we did some good stuff and respected what the coach wanted. At the end, we won so everyone is happy today. “He [...
Arsenal beat Liverpool 5-4 on penalties on Saturday to lift the Community Shield, the curtain-raiser for the English domestic season, after the two sides played out a 1-1 draw on a chilly afternoon at Wembley. Gunners captain and match goal-scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang blasted home the final penalty of the afternoon to complete the north London side’s second win over the league champions in the space of six weeks following a shortened summer break. “We are improving. There is still work to do but I’m really happy and it’s an exciting time to be an Arsenal player,” Aubameyang told BT Sport after the match. It was the Gunners’ second trophy within a month following the side’s FA Cup final win over Chelsea on Aug. 1. The game was a very even and at times rather slow affair, with Liverpool...

Arsenal capitalised on shocking errors from Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk and Alisson to beat the champions 2-1 at The Emirates on Wednesday and end their hopes of a record points tally for the Premier League season. The loss means Liverpool, on 93 points, can now only stretch that tally to 99, one short of Manchester City’s record. Arsenal’s first win against Liverpool since April 2015 lifts them one place to ninth in the table on 53 points. The visitors created all the early pressure and opened the scoring in the 20th minute when Sadio Mane lashed in his 17th goal of the season from close range. Yet the home side, playing without their leading scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, were handed a free pass back into the game 12 minutes later when Van Dijk made a back pass straight into the path ...
Arsenal have yet to make a contract offer to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, ESPN correspondent Julien Laurens has claimed. Aubameyang’s future with the Gunners has been a regular topic of discussion this year with his contract due to expire at the end of next season. A recent report from The Star claimed that the club have proposed to extend Aubameyang’s deal for another two years and they are hopeful that the forward will accept the offer. However, this has been quickly dismissed by ESPN’s Julien Laurens, who insists that the Gunners have yet to hold any concrete negotiations over an extension for the 30-year-old. Aubameyang has been a key player in the Gunners ranks over the past two years and during this period, he has bagged 61 goals and registered 13 assists from 97 outings. As a res...
Arsenal chiefs have identified Lille striker, Victor Osimhen, as a replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Daily Express says Arsenal are tracking Osimhen as a potential replacement for Aubameyang. Aubameyang looks set to leave this summer after failing to negotiate new terms at Emirates Stadium. The Gunners are keen to avoid a repeat of the scenario which saw Aaron Ramsey leave for free last summer, so will offload Aubameyang this summer to ensure they get a fee. Osimhen has scored 13 goals in 25 Ligue 1 starts this season. Meanwhile, Osimhen has turned down an offer from Napoli. The Nigeria striker is being put up for sale by LOSC president Gerard Lopez as he seeks to balance the club’s books for next season. Napoli are keen, but Eurosport’s Manu Lonjon reports Osimhen has already...
