Since signing his contract last year, fans have seen a distinctive drop in form from the club skipper.
After a bout of Malaria, the Gabon international will have to lead the line once again in Arsenal’s Europa League tie against Villarreal. The Gunners need to overcome a 2-1 deficit from the first leg to go through.
Aubameyang sent Arsenal to the finals in 2018/19 by scoring a hat-trick in the semi-final second leg.
“Definitely it was a good performance [against Valencia] and it was a big game as well,” Aubameyang said. “Yes I think it was my best performance since I’ve been here at Arsenal. It was really great game, hopefully, I can do it tomorrow again!
“I think I was really motivated in these types of games because a few times I have received some criticism of not being involved in big games, so I wanted to show people that it’s not true.
“This is why I am really excited to play this game tomorrow because it is a big game and it’s a big moment for all of us. Hopefully, we deliver again.
“For sure it will be one of [the biggest games of my Arsenal career]. Definitely, this season is the most important game and we know that we have to win this game.
“It is a big opportunity for us to get to the final, we play at home and this is maybe the biggest game of my Arsenal career.”
