Aubameyang seen in Arsenal shirt for first time since Mikel Arteta axe as striker poses in Gunners kit on Afcon duty

PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG has been seen in an Arsenal shirt for the first time since being axed by Mikel Arteta.

However, the striker was only posing for a photo after being stripped of the captaincy last month.

Aubameyang has not played for the Gunners since the 2-1 defeat to Everton on December 12 after a disciplinary breach.

And he was removed as Arsenal skipper just days later by a fuming Arteta.

Aubameyang has kept a low profile since his run-in with the gaffer.

And he is currently on international duty with Gabon at the Africa Cup of Nations.

The veteran was unable to play in yesterday’s 1-0 win over Comoros after testing positive for Covid.

But a picture emerged on Tuesday showing Aubameyang posing for a photo while wearing an Arsenal jersey.

The forward looked to be in good spirits as the snap was taken.

But whether he still has a future at the Emirates remains to be seen.

That’s because Arsenal are reportedly pursuing a deal for Fiorentina goal sensation Dusan Vlahovic.

The 21-year-old has netted 18 times in just 20 games this seaon.

And Arteta is ready to pay £60million for Vlahovic’s services, while also paying him around £300,000 per week.

Aubameyang is Arsenal’s current top earner on £250k a week.

And he could now be offloaded to free up space for the Serbian star.
