A sad departure from the Emirates Stadium occurred in January. The Gunners decided to terminate the club captain’s contract early as a result of a series of disciplinary concerns. This enabled him to join Barcelona on a free transfer from the Emirates Stadium.

If you assumed that removing the club’s major source of regular goals would hurt Mikel Arteta’s squad, you would be correct. However, the polar opposite has been the case. The youthful Arsenal team has been soaring to new heights since Aubameyang’s departure.
