Paul Merson highly praises Arsenal for decision made earlier this week

Paul Merson have praised Arsenal for getting rid on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang earlier this week. The ex Gunners' captain spent 4 years at the Emirates and was almost always the club’s most important player. However, the Gabon international was dropped from the side and was stripped of his captaincy after disciplinary breach. Speaking in his column for the Daily Star, Merson claimed.

“For once, I say fair play to Arsenal on Aubameyang. They’ve made a decision. Too often they’ve taken the easy option. Not this time." said the Englishman.   “They just wanted rid of him and they got it done. Before he got his contract Aubameyang was unplayable.   "But he wasn’t really performing this season and the rift between him and the manager had got too big.   “Now they’ve got to get their work done and make sure they’ve got a top drawer centre forward signed up on day one in the summer.   "I like what they’ve done. They’ve freed up a lot of wages and whoever comes in won’t be saying: ‘Aubameyang gets £350,000-a-week. I want £350,000-a-week as well.’   “That’s nipped in the bud now. They won’t be held to ransom. And they can use the money they’ve saved to get a top-class player like Calvert-Lewin.”
