Arteta stripped Aubameyang of the Arsenal captaincy over disciplinary issues and the striker ended up leaving the club to join Barcelona in February 2022. After an impressive spell in La Liga, Aubameyang returned to the Premier League ahead of the current campaign as he signed for Arsenal’s rivals Chelsea. The 33-year-old returns to the Emirates on Tuesday as Arsenal host Chelsea and Arteta was asked about his former player ahead of the game. We can still achieve the Premier League because there are five games to go and a lot of things are going to happen still.
