Arteta urges Aubameyang to stay

Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored two goals in the FA Cup final to help the Gunners to their 14th FA Cup win.

The Gabonese striker displayed the performance of a captain as an ecstatic Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta heaped praise on the striker. 

“It’s the most difficult thing in football, that’s for sure, and he makes it simple – look at the second goal he scored,” Arteta said. “We always had incredible strikers at this football club and Auba deserves to be named and compared with the big names. “By winning trophies he will be closer to that and the longer he stays there as well. “Hopefully we can have him for more time.”

The problem with Auba is of course his contract and Arteta wants it sorted out as soon as possible. 

“The biggest problem as well was probably to convince [Aubameyang] to work the way he is working,” Arteta added. “He was going to get more rewarded, more respected and then that respect goes from respect to admiration – admiration from his team-mates, the people who work with him and the fans. “I think now, the way he is conducting himself on and off the field, he has got that.”
