Piers Morgan SLAMS Mikel Arteta for ‘humiliating’ Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and ‘giving him away’ to Barcelona after details of his Arsenal exit emerged in All or Nothing series… with the striker now poised to join rivals Chelsea
- Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left Arsenal in February to join Barcelona
- Aubameyang was allowed to leave after clashing with Gunners boss Mikel Arteta
- The 33-year-old has continued his goalscoring form at the Catalan club
- Piers Morgan criticised Arteta for allowing the Gabon international to leave
- Aubameyang is now poised to make a return to the Premier League with Chelsea
Piers Morgan has blasted Mikel Arteta’s decision to allow star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to leave Arsenal for Barcelona earlier this year.
After enjoying a successful six-month stint at Barcelona, it has now emerged that the club are willing to listen to offers for the former Arsenal striker.
Reports suggest that Chelsea may be interested in Aubameyang’s services, with Thomas Tuchel having worked with the 33-year-old during their time at Borussia Dortmund.
Mikel Arteta endured a fraught relationship with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang before the striker’s departure in February
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is reportedly interested in bringing the striker to Stamford Bridge
Twitter user @GoonerTalk reacted to the news of Aubameyang’s possible departure from the LaLiga club, alleging that the striker’s short time at the Nou Camp was evidence of an attitude problem.
They wrote: ‘Piers Morgan went on and on about Arsenal offloading ‘world class striker’ Aubameyang, just for Barcelona to try to get rid of him 6 months later. If a player is rumoured to be problematic and then two teams bin him within 6 months, you can take those rumours as gospel.’
Piers Morgan hit back at the claims, however, writing: ‘No reports of [Aubameyang] being anything but exemplary at Barca, and a goal machine. Now he may go to Chelsea, managed by Tuchel who managed him at Dortmund & loved him so much he wants to work with him again. So every part of this tweet is utter twaddle.’
