Prior to this weekend’s trip to Chelsea, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang received a warning for his remarks about Arsenal.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, a striker for Chelsea, has been informed that he might come to regret remarks he made about Arsenal before this Sunday’s match. Gabriel Agbonlahor, a former captain of Aston Villa, has questioned why the attacker seemed to have lost respect for his former team.
For the first time since his highly-publicized exit in January, Aubameyang will take on Arsenal. After repeated conduct violations, the 33-year-old and manager Mikel Arteta had a falling out, and the player moved for Barcelona.

He returned to the Premier League seven months later, this time joining Chelsea. Prior to this Sunday’s meeting between the Blues and the Gunners at Stamford Bridge, Aubameyang can be seen in a BT Sport advertisement.
He has a message of caution for Arsenal. In the advertisement, Aubameyang remarked, “Arsenal, nothing personal. I’m back, I’m sick, and I’m prepared.
In his four years at Arsenal, Aubameyang scored 92 goals and contributed to the team’s FA Cup victory in 2020. Agbonlahor is unable to comprehend why he said what he did.
I was a little perplexed when I saw it, he admitted on talkSPORT. I am taken aback.
“BT Sport would have been humming if they had managed to get him to speak those things because it gives the game more spice and, of course, draws in more viewers. Strangely enough, I don’t believe you need to do that.
“I can picture the Chelsea media officer asking, ‘Do you want to do this?'” and he most likely responded “sure.” No, I would never have done it.
“Since these factors appear to be working against you. I wouldn’t be surprised if he came on and missed a clear shot, and Arsenal went on to win, leaving you wondering why you had to do that.
“Although he had a falling out with Arteta, the supporters adored Aubameyang, so he should still have respect for Arsenal. Therefore, I believe it to be a foolish action that he may come to regret.”
Agbonlahor is confident that Arteta will utilize Aubameyang’s speech to inspire his team. “Watch that, he said he’s returning and he’s going to have a big game against you, so forget about being buddies with him, you stop him,” he continued, referring to Arteta’s defenders, Gabriel and William Saliba.
Do whatever it takes to stop Aubameyang, including “if you have to kick him, kick him.”
Graham Potter and other Chelsea players won’t be thrilled with Aubameyang’s message, according to Rangers veteran Ally McCoist. No, and to be really honest, whether I’m his manager, his coach, or one of his teammates, I’m not happy either.
