Nicolas Pepe to replace Aubameyang Arsenal EPL
Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan Arsenal news

Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang has already scored 14 goals in the Premier League for Arsenal this season but on Sunday vs Burnley, the forward made himself look really silly infront of goal.

The Gabon international had three major chances to score for the Gunners but failed to convert even one of them and ultimately Arsenal had to return back home with only a single point.

The draw means Arsenal have once again failed to break into the top half of the table as they are stuck in the 10th spot going into the winter break. And according to Ian Wright, Aubameyang looked poor because of a bit of rustiness.

Wright told Premier League Productions via The Metro: ‘You can only put it down to a little bit of rustiness.

‘It seems like a very poor finish, a rushed finish. You would have thought a side-foot from where he was would have sufficed.

‘This one [second big chance], could he have done it first time? It’s very hard to get that touch and then get it over a ‘keeper of that size as well so that was a difficult chance.

‘When you look at this chance [header in the second half]… it’s unfortunate. It’s unlucky. You want to hit the target. That’s the main thing you do there.

‘You don’t try and be too precise with that header because it’s such a good ball, he’s made a good move off the defender and you just want to make the goalkeeper make save.

‘But hit the target.’

Aubameyang has just returned back from a red card suspension and all throughout the January transfer window there was a lot of buzz about him trying to move to Barcelona which surely would have had some kind of mental impact on the player.
