It’ll Be Impossible For Arsenal To Sell Aubameyang – Alan Smith

Ex England international, Alan Smith has come out to say that it will be hard for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to resurrect his career at Arsenal. He recently revealed this while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he can only imagine what Aubameyang will be thinking right now because his state of mind didn’t seem great in the first place with his confidence out on the pitch.

Alan added that somebody on £350,000-a-week is going to be virtually impossible to move on from Arsenal.

“It looks a difficult road back for Aubameyang at Arsenal.”

“When you do what you do to the captain of the club, and from the outside looking in, quite rightly Arteta has done it.”

“You wonder what Aubameyang’s state of mind will be now. It didn’t seem great in the first place in terms of his confidence out on the pitch.”

“I still think he’s got about 18 months left on his deal and I’m sure at this point Arteta would like to sell him, but somebody on £350,000-a-week is going to be virtually impossible to move on unless they do what they did with Mesut Ozil and give him a shed load of money and he’d have to accept less money elsewhere.”

“It’s a problem and a problem Arteta didn’t need, but now it’s a big challenge for Arsenal to rebuild their attack and it is going to depend on some very clever and inspired recruitment.”

“It’s going to be difficult. Not many clubs have the kind of money that would be needed for his wages, first and foremost, and especially for a player who is not hitting the back of the net.”

“Why would you gamble on somebody, no matter what his reputation is from the past, who is not producing at the moment and pay big money? That’s why it is going to be really difficult.”
