Aubameyang: Arsenal star went down a gear after signing new contract - Agbonlahor

The former England striker explains why he feels the Gabon star is having a poor season with the Gunners in North London

Gabriel Agbonlahor believes the performance of Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang dropped down a gear after he signed a new contract last summer.

The 32-year-old Gabon international has not enjoyed a good start with the Gunners this campaign, only managing five goals in all competitions – two in the Premier League against Norwich City and Tottenham Hotspur, and three against West Bromwich Albion in the Carabao Cup.

This follows on the 10 Premier League goals he scored last season, having signed a new deal at the start of the 2020/21 campaign, which is in stark contrast to the 22 league goals in each of the two seasons prior to that.
