    Aubameyang will remain at Arsenal – Arteta

    Arsenal head-coach, Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will remain at the Emirates this season amid transfer rumours.

    The Spanish manager announced this on Thursday after the Gunners decimated West-Brom 6-0 in the build up to the EFL Cup (Carbao cup) on Wednesday.

    The Gabonese international striker had a disappointing spell last season, netting just 10 league goals. He scored 22 in each of the two preceding campaigns.

    The 32-year-old scored a hat-trick in his first start this season which was Arsenal’s first win this season after two consecutive defeats.

    The Gunners travel to champions Manchester City on Saturday with Pep Guardiola’s side looking to add a striker to their ranks after their principal target Harry Kane said he will stay at Tottenham Hotspur this season.

    Cristiano Ronaldo has been mentioned as a possible target but it may be hard to persuade Juventus to let him go so Aubameyang as a proven goal-scorer could prove attractive.

    “Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is our player and he will remain here,” said Arteta at Thursday’s press conference.

    However, Arteta was not so sure what might happen if the club was to receive a huge offer for the player who signed a three year contract last September.

    They have spent more money than all their rivals in the close season — a reported 130 million ($178 million) — and may feel obliged to listen if a big money offer was made.

    “I don’t know,” he said when asked if the club would have to consider offers for any player.

    “We haven’t had a situation but probably that question is more for (technical director) Edu and the board.”

    One player who does appear to be surplus to requirements is Brazilian forward Willian, who has failed to fire since he joined from Chelsea on a free transfer in August last year.

    The 33-year-old has been heavily linked with a return to his homeland with Corinthians.

    “We are having some conversations with him and the agent and we are evaluating the position that we are in at the moment,” he added.

    Arteta would probably have preferred an easier opponent prior to the international break than the club where he was assistant to Guardiola prior to taking the Arsenal job.

    The Gunners manager, though, paid his former boss a handsome tribute after Guardiola was reported on Wednesday to have said he would leave City when his present contract expires in 2023.

    “Obviously the longevity of Sir Alex (Ferguson) and Arsene (Wenger) is incredible what they’ve done,” he said.

    “I think that Pep has brought a lot of new things and a different way of playing and I think what he’s added to this country is exceptional and he’s going to go down in the history of the Premier League for sure.

    “Obviously it is the club that he has been the longest (he has been there since 2016) and I think he’s loving it there.”
