Arsenal boss Arteta hits back at Aubameyang, insists he was a solution and not the problem

Aubameyang left the Emirates Stadium for Barcelona last week on a free transfer. Asked at his unveiling as a Barca player what had happened in London, Aubameyang said: “I don’t think I did anything wrong. I think [the problem] was with him. He wasn’t happy. I was calm and that’s it” 

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said on Wednesday he was the solution, not the problem following former captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s departure from the club after a series of disciplinary problems. 

Aubameyang left the Emirates Stadium for Barcelona last week on a free transfer. Asked at his unveiling as a Barca player what had happened in London, Aubameyang said: “I don’t think I did anything wrong. I think [the problem] was with him. He wasn’t happy. I was calm and that’s it.” 

But Arteta countered those claims. “You ask the question directly to me, so I respond,” he said. “I am grateful for what Auba has done at the club, for his contribution since I have been here and the way I see myself in that relationship is the solution, not the problem. What I am saying is that I’ve been this solution. I can look in the eye of anybody. I do lot of things wrong, for sure. But the intention all the time is the best—and not for me, it is for the club and for the team.”
