PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG has infuriated Arsenal fans by ‘liking’ a tweet that claimed he should play for a bigger club.
The 31-year-old striker finally penned a new three-year deal with the Gunners earlier this month.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang appeared to like the tweet – then he swiftly unliked it
But he has sent Arsenal fans into meltdown with his recent social media activity.
Aubameyang was tagged in a post that read: “He’s been so deserving of a team of the calibre of Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, [Man] City, Liverpool etc, not Arsenal for years.”
And eagle-eyed supporters noticed that the Gabonese star had ‘liked’ the tweet – which was written in French.
In response, one furious fan said: “If you felt you deserved a better team then go ahead and put in a transfer request.
“You’re not the first Arsenal captain to dissapear.”
Another simply added: “That is totally disrespectful.”
And one replied: “Why did he sign if he doesn’t want to stay? Makes no sense to me.”
One Twitter user joked: “[Arsenal] Begged him to sign a contraction extension and now he’s twerking for other teams.”
Aubameyang has admitted he was “thinking about” leaving the North London club this summer.
But he was persuaded to extend his stay by boss Mikel Arteta.
He is now the club’s highest-paid player with a deal worth more than £350,000-per-week.
Barcelona had been linked to him, but the Spanish side failed with a late move for him.
