Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could be stripped off from captaincy soon by Arteta.

The Gabon forward was dropped from the squad in their weekend clash against Southampton due to a disciplinary breach.

Aston Villa legend Gabby Agbonlahor has suggested Aubameyang give up captaincy to avoid more backlash from the fans and pundits.

Agbonlahor himself gave up captaincy when he was caught smoking shisha and has asked Aubameynag to do the same.

Gabby told TalkSport: “I think Arteta’s handling him right

“Arteta played at a great level, he played not that long ago, so he’s not going to accept any player thinking they can do what they like and have their own rules.

“When I played at Aston Villa I gave up the captaincy. I was club captain and I went on holiday during an international break and got caught smoking shisha.

“As footballers we’re meant to be robots who aren’t allowed to do anything. I got a lot of heat for that so I gave up the armband.

“Maybe that’s something Aubameyang needs to do.”
