Gabon star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang recently signed an extension with Arsenal, which will keep him with the franchise until the summer of 2023. But, according to the 31-year-old striker, the Premier League side faces several competitors for his signature.

Speaking with Canal Football Club, Aubameyang admitted that he had a number of other suitors, including Catalan giants Barcelona.

“There were several offers, notably from Barca, but also other clubs,” said Aubameyang.

However, the vision of Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta and the affection he receives from the club made him commit to staying.

“My priority was to stay for two reasons: the first is the coach, Mikel Arteta, because we spoke a fair amount during the ‘lockdown’ … he convinced me, notably in terms of the project,” he added. “Of course, secondly, is the love that I receive from the fans and people at the club.”

Since arriving at Arsenal in 2017 from Borussia Dortmund, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang emerged as the club’s best player. He scored impressive 72 goals in 112 games, while also expressing leadership skills that got him the captain armband since 2019.

 Backed by a new contract, Aubameyang is enjoying a great start of the new season, scoring two goals with one assist in three games.

Gabon international Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will stay loyal to Arsenal. According to several media reports, Aubameyang agreed to a new three-year extension that will make him one of the club’s highest-paid players.

Reportedly, the negotiations between Aubameyang and Arsenal intensified in recent days, and the two sides managed to agree to terms which will see the 31-year-old striker earn around $330,000 per week. The contract also has several bonuses and incentives regarding the club’s success as well as the player’s individual performances.

Aubameyang only had one year left on his deal before agreeing to an extension and was willing to consider his options with several high-profile clubs like Barcelona being interested in his services.

Since joining Arsenal from Borussia Dortmund in 2018, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang emerged as arguably the club’s most important player. He led the team in scoring in each of the previous two years while winning the Premier League Golden Boot in 2018/19. Aubameyang played a total of 109 matches in Arsenal jersey and scored impressive 70 goals.

Locking Aubameyang to a new contract represents a second major move for Arsenal in recent days, as the club previously agreed to terms with Brazilian winger Willian. The club is also looking to make several more additions in order to return to Premier League title contention under new manager Mikel Arteta.
