Mikel Arteta has revealed he was not always confident Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would commit his future to the club.
Aubameyang, who scored in the Gunners’ opening Premier League win at Fulham, signed a new three-year deal at Emirates Stadium this week.
A successful resolution to negotiations had been hinted at since the end of last season, with Arteta positive when discussing a possible renewal, even with Aubameyang’s initial contract up at the end of the campaign. (Vanguard)
