Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has told Eurosport that star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is now ready to kick on.
Arteta has said that Arsenal striker Aubameyang is in a good place now and could explode this season.
The Gabon international has recovered from coronavirus and could feature against Chelsea in the Premier League today.
Arteta told Eurosport about Aubameyang: “It depends on his personal life, how it is going to be, professionally, how he takes himself, and his level of motivation.
“I am getting the sense from him that he is ready to kick on but he got Covid and has been away for a while, so now we have to work him back physically to his best condition because that’s also something which is very important in his game.”
Exciting news for Arsenal fans
Aubameyang struggled to score goals on a regular basis last season and had a very disappointing campaign.
The 32-year-old former Borussia Dortmund star scored 10 goals and gave three assists in 26 Premier League starts for the Gunners last season.
The striker scored three goals and gave one assist in five Europa League starts last season.
Arsenal fans will surely expect more from arguably the best and most important player at the club.
It could take a while for Aubameyang to get into the rhythm after recovering from coronavirus, and fans need to be a bit patient with him.
Arsenal are not going to challenge for the Premier League title this season, but the North London club will hope to at least aim for the Champions League places.
For that to happen, the Gunners need Aubameyang to be on top form throughout the season.
