A new report emerge to finally reveal why Mikel Arteta decided Aubameyang had to leave Arsenal
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s exit from Arsenal remains a mystery, but an ESPN article has thrown light on why the striker was forced to quit the club.
According to the report, Mikel Arteta decided to let Aubameyang leave the club because he felt his attitude was jeopardising the cultural change the Spaniard sought to impose at the Emirates.

Instead, Arteta was unimpressed by his general demeanour.
If Arteta was concerned about Aubameyang’s general demeanour, why did it take until December 2021 to make a decision?
We’re not sure, but we can suppose that the striker’s hot streak had something to do with it.
For the longest time, Aubameyang was unstoppable for Arsenal, constantly topping the Gunners’ scoring lists, but after netting just four goals in 14 Premier League games to begin the season, Arteta now had more than one reason to leave Aubameyang out of the side and eventually send him on.
Many were waiting for the details of an explosive disagreement or one rash event to emerge, but it appears that Aubameyang’s exit from Arsenal was in the works for months before Arteta finally let him leave.
The Spaniard is attempting a cultural reset at the Emirates, which we’re sure will be reflected in the Gunners’ summer transfer activity.
