‘Emotional’ Aubameyang fallen head over heels for Chelsea

PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG has been in the spotlight for both his goalscoring ability and his character this week.

At his former club AC Milan last night, the 33-year-old scored his third goal in three games, finishing off a good move to effectively kill the match off in the first half.

He then posted on social media after the match a picture of him flying through the air in celebration with a caption which simply read: Emotions”.

It highlighted what a special moment this was for a player who failed to make the grade at Milan as a teenager.

This week, Aubameyang went on social media to explain his latest criticism of his former manager Mikel Arteta. That came after a video emerged of Aubameyang during his time at Barcelona, claiming the Spaniard cannot manage big players, which reignited their feud.

Clarifying his comments on Twitter, Aubameyang said: Aware there is a video out that was recorded just after I arrived at Barca.

“At the time I still had a lot of bad feelings in me Arsenal are doing great things this season and I wish all my old guys well, just not on November 6. Now full focus on tomorrow.”

Seven months after his Arsenal exit, Aubameyang is looking back on top form at Chelsea.
