'Mikel Arteta couldn’t stand for that': Auba backed to flourish at Chelsea

Reacting to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's shocking deadline day transfer to Chelsea, former Liverpool man Jamie Carragher told Sky Sports: "He’s a quality player, there is no doubt about that. I think it’s a good signing.

"People may question Arsenal’s role in this and the fact they let him go for free, and now Chelsea are paying money for him 12 months later.

"I think it’s a good signing for Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea, and also the right decision from Mikel Arteta – look at where Arsenal are right now.

"We know Aubameyang brings goals and quality but at times there are maybe situations and misdemeanours off the pitch or within the dressing room and Arteta couldn’t stand for that.

"But Tuchel knows him well from their time at Borussia Dortmund and, as a neutral, I’m delighted he’s back in the Premier League because he’s a brilliant player."

Arsenal have added Gabriel Jesus to the mix and are at the top of the Premier League table five wins in five games.
