Mikel Arteta's hard-line decision to exile Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and send him to Barcelona shows he has learned from Arsene Wenger's management, believes former Gunners midfielder Ray Parlour.
Parlour feels that Wenger, who managed Arsenal from 1996 to 2018, had players 'taking the mick' at the end of his reign, which contributed to losing the dressing room, and Arteta has acted swiftly to avoid a repeat.
Arteta showed no desire to bend the rules for Aubameyang, a top earner on a £350,000-a-week contract, and Arsenal duly terminated that contract as he made the move to join Barcelona this week.
