Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang admits that Mikel Arteta was the deciding factor in him committing to Arsenal this summer.
The Gunners skipper ended speculation over his future by signing a new three-year deal worth £350,000-a-week this month.
And it was the man who has led the club to two trophies in his first nine months in charge who proved so influential in convincing the talismanic Gabonese striker to stay in north London.


'Two things persuaded me to stay,' he told Sky Sports.
