Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has come out to say that it is the club’s responsibility to prove to Aubameyang that his future is best served at the Emirates.
Arteta recently revealed that he is still very hopeful that his top scorer will sign a new deal.
According to him, the Gabon striker has to feel valued at Arsenal because that is only when he would know he truly belongs to the club.
He added that Arsenal is trying to move forward and Auba is a very key player to make that dream come true.
His words, “I think it’s our responsibility to make him feel that this is the right next step in his career,”
“In order to do that he needs to feel valued. He needs to feel that he belongs to us and that we want him – and then he really needs to believe we can take this club forward in the way we want to do. He’s going to be a key player to do that.
“I think that [Champions League qualification] would help to persuade anybody, but we are very lucky to have the club that we have that a lot of players want to come and join.
“But it is not about who do we want to attract as well, it is how happy the players are here [too] and how convinced they are that they are in the right place. As well, it is our obligation to be fighting for almost every trophy and playing in the Champions League with this club.”
“We have many discussions with Pierre, his family and agent,”
“I am pretty positive that we can find the right agreement for all parties.
“At the moment I am extremely happy about the way he is performing and behaving. I think I have a really good relationship with him where we can discuss face to face a lot of things. So far, as far as I’m aware, I think he’s very happy at the club.”
