Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: Arsenal captain signs new three-year contract

Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has signed a new three-year deal with the club.

The 31-year-old striker joined the Gunners in January 2018 and won the Premier League Golden Boot in his first full season in 2018-19.

"Signing for this special club was never in doubt," he said.

"I believe in Arsenal. We can achieve big things together. We have something exciting here and I believe the best is to come for Arsenal."

Aubameyang scored in Arsenal's victory at Fulham on Saturday, the first game of the new Premier League season.

The Gabon striker also scored two goals against Chelsea in the FA Cup final in July, securing the Gunners' place in next season's Europa League.

"It was important for Pierre-Emerick to stay with us," said Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta.

"He's a superb player with an incredible mentality. Being the player to have taken the least amount of time to reach 50 goals with this club tells you everything you need to know about him and his way of working.

"He's an important leader for the team and a big part of what we're building. He wants to be up there with the best players in the world and leave his mark. He can achieve that here."

Absolutely brilliant news....probably be in the top four scorers this season ... Mesut Özil needs to go as soon as possible. Never agreed on his signing and his stubbornness to move on tells us exactly who is.
Not an Arsenal fan. It he’s clearly happy with the appointment of Arteta and he can see real talent at Arsenal (thats been missing for some time now).
I’m pleased for the EPL, he’s a talented player and it’s good he’s happy at Arsenal.
Yeah cause he is a loser who always wants to be in Tottenham's shadow.
He signed da ting 😍😍😍
Great news for Arsenal who looked impressive at the weekend. Can't imagine that happening under Emery.
We’re just double checking this comment.
Looking up for the Gunners. Decent young Manager that will only get better and secured certainly one of the top strikers in the EPL. Good work
Good on him, now he can down tools like Ozil and Alexis and enjoy the last few years giving minimum effort for maximum wedge.

Not an Arsenal supporter, but this is great news for fans of Premier League football.
Has he got no ambition?
With Him now secured, Willian and Lacazette - through in some good turns from pepe and gabriel - we should be Top 4 this season.....would be nice :)
