Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Says Arsenal 'Stagnated' Under Arsene Wenger

Pierre Emerick Aubameyang has said Arsenal "stagnated" under former manager Arsene Wenger, but he feels there is renewed optimism at the club upon Unai Emery's appointment.

Aubameyang only arrived at Arsenal in January, but he thinks change will do the Gunners some good.

Per MailOnline's Robert Cottingham, he said: "It's a little bit of a mixed feeling. Over the last few seasons—you have to tell the truth—the club has stagnated a little bit. I think everyone is actually a little bit excited to see what happens next season."

The Gabon striker had backed Wenger earlier in the season, though that was to be expected given the Frenchman had not yet announced his decision to move on.
