Jermaine Pennant backs Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to leave Arsenal for Newcastle in January

Former Arsenal winger Jermaine Pennant believes there is a good chance Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will join Newcastle United during the January transfer window.

Aubameyang’s future in north London looks bleak after being stripped of the captaincy and frozen out of the first-team in December following his latest disciplinary issue.

The striker has been ordered to train away from the first-team by manager Mikel Arteta and has been left out of the squad for their last six games.

That period has coincided with an excellent run of form where Arsenal have won five while scoring 20 times – with their only blemish in that spell a last-gasp defeat to Manchester City on Saturday. (Metro)
