Former Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been reminiscing about his time in North London.

It’s been almost three years since Aubameyang fell out with Mikel Arteta resulting in him leaving the Gunners to join Barcelona.

The Gabon international went from hero to zero in rapid time at Colney, leading to the end of the road at Arsenal.

It was an ugly ending for a player who contributed so much, with former Arsenal players branding Aubameyang a ‘snake’ for his actions after leaving.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sends message to Arsenal

For all of the controversy that came from Aubameyang’s exit, it’s impossible to forget the impact the striker had.

Returning to the Premier League to sign for Chelsea was the final nail in the coffin for the ex-skippers legacy at the Emirates but, his heart is still very much in N5.

Ahead of Arsenal’s clash with Manchester United, Arteta’s former talisman posted a message directed at the Gunners on social media.

The club posted a video of Arsenal’s 4-2 win over Tottenham that happened six years ago, resulting in Aubameyang re-posting with the caption, “6 years already damn…”

Aubameyang has reflected on his Arsenal memories before, displaying that the club will forever be a part of his heart but unfortunately, the feeling among fans is not mutual.

A player who contributed 113 goals in 163 appearances for Arsenal will always be remembered, whether that be fondly or not is an open debate.

What is Aubameyang doing now?

While fans feel that the former club captain leaving to join Chelsea is unforgivable, it seems the striker looks back on his time at Arsenal with love.

Aubameyang has an Arsenal tattoo, capturing the moment he won the FA Cup with the Gunners before it all went downhill.

Since leaving Arsenal, things have been rocky for the forward however, he continues to provide an undeniable presence in front of goal.

Now playing in Saudi Arabia for Al-Qadsiah, Aubameyang has scored six goals in only 12 appearances this season, building on his form at Marseille prior to his transfer.

Now 35, the former Arsenal captain’s contract in the Saudi Pro-League expires in the summer of 2026, in what could be the final step of his playing career.
