Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: Last News

Arsenal boss can't handle big players. Aubameyang left the Gunners in February to join Barcelona on a free transfer after falling foul of Arteta.

It even led to the striker being dropped from the squad at a time when Arsenal needed someone up front.But Arteta stuck to his guns and by the end of the month, Aubameyang's contract had been ripped up in front of him - paying him £7million in the process - to make him a free agent.

Arsenal has “hurt” as he broke his silence following his move to Barcelona.The striker had been frozen out by Mikel Arteta at the Gunners in recent months following disciplinary issues.His form had dropped off remarkably since he signed a bumper new contract 18 months ago, which made him one of the highest-paid players in the Premier League.And he has now cut his time at the Emirates Stadium short by mutually terminating his contract to pave the way for a free transfer to La Liga giants Barca.Before having his arrival at the Nou Camp confirmed though, Aubameyang has penned an emotional goodbye message to Gunners supporters.Aubameyang spent four years at Arsenal after being bought for a club-record fee and admitted his departure from the Premier League side has been painful.“To the Arsenal fans,” he wrote in an Instagram message in which he also attached four pictures from his time at the club.“Thank you for making London home for myself and my family for the past four years.
