“Never seen him like this”- Mikel Arteta details how Arsenal star has evolved his game this season

Last season Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang scored only 10 goals in Premier League, yet this season things had to be changed. Aubameyang has not netted 4 and provided 1 assist in 8 EPL appearances. including a hat-trick against West Bromwich Albion in the Carabao Cup. Speaking to Arsenal.com about the Gabonese star, Mikel Arteta was full of praise, claiming that this was the best version of Aubameyang he had ever seen.

“I have never seen Auba transmit what he is doing now”   “Apart from the goals, the celebration when they put the ball in the net, do you see the way he runs?   "The purpose he has to press the ball, and when he takes it his movement, his link, how is leading the game – that is when he is changing the rest, not when he is static and then he puts the ball in the net. I prefer this Auba.   “What was good, or very good, two or three years ago, with his role in this team, at this club, it is not enough. He had to take a step forward. I would say the same with Laca, look what he is transmitting, not  just doing or playing, what he is transmitting. For me that is really, really important.   “They lead by example and not only there but as well at the training ground. Certain things, a role they could have had three years ago in the squad, now it has changed.”
