After months of speculation, Arsenal fans can finally rejoice knowing that their best player is staying for the next few crucial years.
Ian Wright joined the Gabon international on the live chat to thank him for his decision. The Gunners legend pointed out how Aubameyang chose to stay at a time when Arsenal needs him the most, almost echoing the words of all Gunners fans.
Details regarding the contract emerged last week where David Ornstein revealed that Aubameyang will become Arsenal’s highest-paid player. Now, the exact details are hard to break down but his base salary is believed to be lower than Mesut Ozil’s but with incentives and add-ons could rise above.
Aubameyang propelled this Arsenal side to a FA Cup and Charity Shield victory with an insurmountable level of skill and determination. The team’s highest goal-getter for two consecutive seasons now, the 31-year-old is also their captain and a model figure for all the youngsters breaking out into the senior side.
Arsenal fans will take this bit of news as a new signing this summer, especially when the club is under such financial strain. Keeping hold of the former Borussia Dortmund player was integral to the club moving forward under Mikel Arteta.
