Aubameyang eager to join Arsenal's list of Premier League winners but says Champions League qualification is priority

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang says he is eager to join Arsenal's list of Premier League title winners, but also admits that Champions League qualification is the club's main priority in 2020-21.

The Gunners have not competed in Europe's elite competition since 2017, and it has been over 16 years since they were last crowned champions of England.

Arsene Wenger delivered three titles during his 22-year reign at the club, but their decline began under his stewardship and his successor Unai Emery was unable to rediscover past glories.
