Official news from Arsenal clubs is that the team's top-paid player, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, is no longer captaining the squad and will not play Arsenal's home game against West Ham In the 17th round of the Premier League. At present, Arsenal have not announced the new captain, which is also the case that Aubameyang has not been injured, and has been punished by the club for not being able to play in the Premier League.
After Aubameyang's disciplinary violation last week, Artat said at the press conference that he would not play Arsenal's home game against Southampton, and arsenal played well in this game, which eventually won 3-0 against the Saints. Aubameyang has now been removed as captain by the club and will not play in the league with West Ham after being suspended internally, which means that Aubameyang has been suspended for at least two games internally by Arsenal.
I have to say that Arteta is still very brave, and the captain and the top salary players will be punished if they make mistakes, and they are severely punished. Arsenal used Aubameyang's example in the announcement to tell players that they must abide by the rules.
Aubameyang, 32, has seen a sharp decline in form since his high-paying contract extension with Arsenal (£350,000 a week) and has played 14 Premier League games for Arsenal this season, including two starts and just four goals. Aubameyang's current german turnaround price is €25 million and the player's contract with Arsenal expires on 30 June 2023.
Arteta domineeringly revoked Aubameyang's captainship + internal suspension, which also meant that the Gabonese striker's road at Arsenal came to an end. Personally, Artat is doing the right thing, Aubameyang earns as much as £350,000 a week, Arsenal can try to recommend him to The Premier League upstart Newcastle who is desperate to be relegated this season, so that it can sell a good price, the player's weekly salary can be maintained, and Newcastle can also get a star, which is a win-win situation.
