Mikel Arteta on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
The London Evening Standard quotes Arteta as saying about Aubameyang: “You are always [concerned] when your main striker isn’t scoring goals but he is trying his hardest.
“He is aware of how much we need him as a team to score goals and at the moment, they are not coming but the rest of the things we are asking him to do, he is trying his best.”
Aubameyang’s form a worry for Arsenal
Now, we know how good a striker Aubameyang is.
The 32-year-old has been superb for Arsenal over the years and is one of the best players in the current squad.
Aubameyang has scored 68 goals in 127 Premier League matches for the Gunners so far in his career.
However, the striker has not been in great form for a while now.
There have been occasions when Aubameyang has done well, but he has failed to sustain a strong run of form.
The Arsenal no. 14 has scored just four goals in 12 Premier League starts so far this season.
Aubameyang scored 10 goals in 26 Premier League starts for Arteta’s side last season.
