Chelsea striker Aubameyang filmed taking HUGE swipe at Mikel Arteta claiming Arsenal boss ‘can’t handle big names’


PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG has been filmed claiming Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta can’t handle “big characters and big players”.

Arteta stripped the striker of the Gunners’ captaincy last December and axed him before Aubameyang joined Barcelona and now Chelsea.

And the Gabon hero’s new comments could inflame Arteta’s allegation of a “catalogue of misdemeanors”.

Aubameyang is seen relaxing on a sofa as he tells another man about Arteta: “Big characters and big players…he can’t deal with it.

“He needs some young players who don’t say anything. They listen.”

Aubameyang, 33, was Arsenal’s main man in attack after arriving from Borussia Dortmund in 2016 – until early last season.

And he was suddenly dumped – forced to train away from the first team – for what the Gunners called at the time a lack of “dedication and commitment”.

Now Arteta has revealed in All or Nothing: Arsenal how he would note down  Aubameyang’s indiscretions.

He said: “I have everything documented, with the dates, the times, the conversations, how it happened, why it happened . . . because of if one day it’s needed.

“[Aubameyang] has been late, apart from all the [other] issues, many times.

“The club has got a tradition. When you get paid that much . . . ” 

Arsenal eventually ripped up Aubameyang’s £350,000-a-week contract to let him join Barca in February.

And after only moving on to Chelsea in the summer he could join PSG at the end of the season.

He’s reportedly already held talks with the French champions.

That’s partly due to new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly looking to build a younger squad.
