Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been stripped off the Arsenal captain position and will not be considered for selection for the club’s Premier League match against West Ham on Wednesday following last week’s disciplinary breach. Aubameyang, the club's highest-paid player, was dropped from Arsenal’s squad against Southampton on Saturday after returning late from a trip abroad. A few months earlier, he was granted time away to visit his mother because she had health issues and missed games in the Premier League and FA Cup. Aubameyang has just four goals in 14 Premier League games this season after signing a three-year contract extension last year that made him the team’s highest-paid player. Aubameyang joined Arsenal from Borussia Dortmund in January 2018 and his latest contract runs to the summer of 2023.
