      FORMER Arsenal hitman Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has claimed Mikel Arteta accused him of putting “a knife in my back”.The striker, 34, has revealed the “crazy” situation which sparked his Gunners exit two years ago and the toxic fallout with boss Arteta.Aubameyang won an FA Cup at Arsenal with Arteta as managerCredit: GettyBut tensions rose between the two during CovidCredit: GettyAuba was stripped of the captaincy in December 2021 after returning late from a trip to France.It was an authorised trip to care for his unwell mum but Covid protocols delayed him by 24 hours and he missed training.Angry Arteta told the Gabon legend to train alone and axed him from the squad for the next game against Southampton.Auba claimed: “I arrive, the coach finishes his meeting, and then he grabs me and completely tears into me.

It affects a man — it was difficult.“How to get out? Often we say that we have to talk about it and there’s no shame in that.”SunSport’s verdict on Arsenal starsMikel Arteta is looking to get Arsenal ready to beat Man City to the title after another near miss, but he may need to be brutal with his squad in order to do so. Here’s SunSport’s verdict on who should stay and who should go.
      David Raya – STAY: Initial doubts arose when he replaced Aaron Ramsdale, but he has since proven himself to be a world-class keeper with all the attributes needed for Arteta’s way of playing.
      Aaron Ramsdale – GO: Unfortunate to be cast aside for Raya, but is now looking for a move to become a regular No.1 elsewhere, especially with his aspirations of one day starting in goal for England.
      Karl Hein – STAY: Unlikely to take Ramsdale’s spot as No.2 should the Englishman depart – but the club cannot afford to lose two keepers in one window.
      William Saliba – STAY: Saliba is of the best young defenders in the world right now, Arteta should be building his team around him. A vital part of the side’s spine that conceded just 29 Prem goals this term.
      Ben White – STAY: Another solid member of Arteta’s impressive back four. Has the flexibility to play on the right or as a central defender, but has made right-back his own this term.
      Gabriel – STAY: Was on the outskirts at the start of the campaign but forced his way back in and has forged an almighty partnership with Saliba in the middle of the defence. One of Arteta’s most important signings.
      Jurrien Timber – STAY: Yet to see the best of the Dutchman after an injury-hit season, but Arteta views him as a game-changing full-back.
      Jakub Kiwior – STAY: The Polish international has struggled to break up the duo of Saliba and Gabriel but has impressed when called upon, especially in a stint at left-back.
      Cedric – GO: Leaving the club with his contract expiring. Never really convinced Arteta he could be relied upon and spent most of the season warming the bench.
      Takehiro Tomiyasu – STAY: Another flexible and reliable figure that Arteta adores. Can play centre-back or right-back and is a real presence at set-pieces.
      Oleksandr Zinchenko – GO: With Timber in line to be Arteta’s first choice at left-back, it is hard to see the Ukrainian starting many games for Arsenal next season. A good signing at £35m but has shown himself to be limited defensively.
      Thomas Partey – GO: Injury prone and has looked leggy when finally back from his thigh issues that kept him out from October until March. Contract is up next summer.
      Martin Odegaard – STAY: Captain fantastic. A real leader amongst men at such a young age. The 25-year-old is on course to lift the Prem at Arsenal sooner rather than later.
      Emile Smith Rowe – STAY: Sidelined for most of the term and struggled to make an impact when called upon, but Arteta still sees something in him. A decent squad option but you get the feeling he is running out of time to prove to the club he is a player worth sticking with.
      Jorginho – STAY: Arteta’s experienced general who, more often than not, has Arsenal playing better with him in the team.
      Fabio Vieira – GO: Perhaps harsh to judge him based on just 16 appearances in all competitions this season but still looks out of place in English football. A loan move could help.
      Mohamed Elneny – GO: Another player departing with his contract expiring. The right call by both parties. A good servant from the Arsene Wenger days.
      Kai Havertz – STAY: Seems a bargain now at £65m from Chelsea following his barnstorming end to the season. Arteta bought him as a midfielder, yet now leads the line as a first-choice No.9.
      Declan Rice – STAY: Arsenal’s most important and influential signing in years. Enough said.
      Bukayo Saka – STAY: An undroppable superstar for club and country right now. Will undoubtedly get even better in seasons to come.
      Gabriel Jesus – STAY: Fighting for a starting spot but right now but would be foolish to let him go given how much he can impact games and his winning mentality inside the group.
      Gabriel Martinelli – STAY: A dip in form this term but Arteta has huge faith in him. The added competition with Leandro Trossard will only make him better.
      Eddie Nketiah – GO: Career is at a crossroads right now and he needs to leave to turn that around. His six-figure wages could put Premier League suitors off.
      Leandro Trossard – STAY: Can bring his qualities as a starter or from the bench – a brilliant option to have when you are going for a title.
      Reiss Nelson – GO: Arteta has often spoken of Nelson’s potential and likes having him around the squad, but his impact has withered over the past 12 months. More

Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSMikel Arteta’s striker shopping listBy Jordan Davies
      ARSENAL are stepping up plans to sign a world-class striker in the summer after their Champions League heartbreak.
      Mikel Arteta splashed out £204.5m last summer on Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber.
      But the Spanish manager accepts he needs a proven goalscorer to take the club to the next level.
      And here are the players he is looking at to get the Gunners firing:
      BENJAMIN SESKO (RB Leipzig, value £40m-£45m)
      One for the future at 20 years old. Scored 16 goals for RB Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga last season and the Slovenian has carried on that good form in Germany with Leipzig this campaign.
      VIKTOR GYOKERES (Sporting Lisbon, value £60m-£80m)
      Been scouted several times this season. The Swedish striker, 25, is more of a traditional No 9 so may not suit Arsenal’s demand for flexibility but would bring a physicality that boss Mikel Arteta craves.
      ALEXANDER ISAK (Newcastle, value £75m-£85m)
      Impressed in his first two seasons in English football. The Swede, 24, has the pace and finesse to match his finishing ability, and Eddie Howe’s Toon may need to sell to balance the books this summer.
      JOSHUA ZIRKZEE (Bologna, value £45m-£50m)
      Dutch wonder  is attracting the attentions of clubs across Europe. At 6ft 4in the 22-year-old forward would have no trouble adapting to the Premier League and already has an eye for goal.
      XAVI SIMONS (RB Leipzig, value £70m-£80m)
      An incredible talent in the Bukayo Saka mould, currently on loan from Paris Saint-Germain. The future of the Dutch attacker, 20, depends on how much money his parent club want to make from him.

      Asked abut what is next for Arsenal, Arteta responded: “Win. Win, win and win. That’s what we want.”We’ve been through a few years right now, we have a team that is full of enthusiasm and so hungry to win trophies.”We know the competition, but we believe we can do it. So we are going to give it a real go.”Guardiola’s City did win the award for Best Men’s Club of the Year with Barcelona winning the women’s version.Mbappe walked away with Best European Player as he prepares to leave PSG as a free agent this summer. ‘I’m in charge round here’ – F1 reporter Martin Brundle brushes off security to get to Mbappe for live TV interview More

Never really convinced Arteta he could be relied upon and spent most of the season warming the bench.TAKEHIRO TOMIYASU – STAYAnother flexible and reliable figure that Arteta adores, which is why he signed fresh terms until 2026 with the option of a further 12 months earlier this year.Can play as a full-back or centre-back and adds real presence at set-pieces.OLEKSANDR ZINCHENKO – GOWith Timber in line to be Arteta’s first choice at left-back, it is hard to see the Ukrainian starting many games for Arsenal next season, something he may find tough to accept.A valued member and a good £35m signing from Manchester City in the summer of 2022 but has shown to be limited defensively at times.THOMAS PARTEY – GOInjury prone and has looked leggy when finally back from his thigh issues that kept him out from October until March.Interest from Saudi means Arsenal could cash in on the 30-year-old with his contract running out next summer.MARTIN ODEGAARD – STAYCaptain fantastic. A real leader amongst men at such a young age. The 25-year-old is on course to lift the Prem at Arsenal sooner rather than later.EMILE SMITH ROWE – STAYSidelined for most of the term and struggled to make an impact when called upon, but Arteta still sees something in him.A decent squad option but you get the feeling he is running out of time to prove to the club he is a player worth sticking with.JORGINHO – STAYArteta’s experienced general that often has Arsenal playing better with him in the team. Signed a new one-year rolling deal recently, rewarded for his influence on the squad.FABIO VIEIRA – GOPerhaps harsh to judge him based on just 16 appearances in all competitions this season but still looks out of place in English football since signing from Porto in June 2022 for £34m.A loan move away could help if Arsenal are struggling to recoup what they paid for him Saliba’s development away from the club a good example of how things can turnaround.MOHAMED ELNENY – GOAnother player departing with his contract expiring. The right call by both parties. A good servant from the Arsene Wenger days.KAI HAVERTZ – STAYSeems a bargain now at £65m from Chelsea following his barnstorming end to the season. Arteta bought him as a midfielder, yet now leads the line as a first-choice No.9.Interesting to see how Arsenal’s pursuit of a striker this summer will impact that.DECLAN RICE – STAYArsenal’s most important and influential signing in years. Enough said.BUKAYO SAKA – STAYAn undroppable superstar for club and country right now. Will undoubtedly get even better in seasons to come.GABRIEL JESUS – STAYFighting for a starting spot but right now but would be foolish to let him go given how much he can impact games and his winning mentality inside the group.Would take a ridiculous offer for Arsenal to consider selling him, and Jesus is more than happy in North London right now.GABRIEL MARTINELLI – STAYA dip in form this term but Arteta has huge faith in him. The added competition with Leandro Trossard will only make him better.EDDIE NKETIAH – GONketiah’s career is at a crossroads right now and he needs to leave to turn that around.The only issue are his six-figure wages which could put potential suitors off. Crystal Palace and West Ham have been interested in the past.LEANDRO TROSSARD – STAYCan bring his qualities as a starter or from the bench – a brilliant option to have when you are going for a title, evidenced by his 12 Prem goals this campaign.READ MORE SUN STORIESREISS NELSON – GOArteta has often spoken of Nelson’s potential and likes having him around the squad, but his impact has withered over the past 12 months.
