Chelsea signed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the final throes of the summer transfer window and the ex-Arsenal skipper has opened up on the hurt he suffered at former clubs
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has revealed the harsh treatment he suffered on his way to the top of the game.
The 33-year-old joined Chelsea on deadline day, marking his third club in the space of eight months. Aubameyang’s turbulent 2022 started when he completed his acrimonious Arsenal exit back in January.
The former Gunners skipper was ostracised by manager Mikel Arteta for what was described as a ‘disciplinary breach’. After his contract was terminated in north London, Aubameyang joined Barcelona, but after just a half-season at the Camp Nou, he was again deemed surplus to requirements.
That offered him the chance to return to the capital and continue a Premier League record which has seen him score 68 times in 128 appearances. But Aubameyang has admitted that his reputation took time to build and he was often dismissed as a younger player.”
