LONDON: Mikel Arteta claimed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is willing to stay at Arsenal after he reached 50 Premier League goals faster than any player in the club’s history in Wednesday’s (Thursday in Manila) 4-0 demolition of Norwich. Aubameyang won’t have scored many easier goals in his Arsenal half-century as he punished a howler from Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul in the first half at the Emirates Stadium. After that it is not in my hands.”Aubameyang now has 51 Premier League goals in 79 appearances — and 63 in all competitions — since his move from Borussia Dortmund in 2018. The 31-year-old’s dash to the half-century beat the previous Arsenal record of 50 goals in 83 games set by Thierry Henry. Norwich are the only Premier League side yet to recover a single point from a losing position this season.
