Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 'deserves' a warm reception if he returns to play Arsenal for Chelsea despite his acrimonious departure, insists Mikel Arteta... and says they must be 'very grateful' for 'exceptional' forward's goals in north London

Mikel Arteta believes Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang deserves a warm reception if he returns to the Emirates with Chelsea, despite the striker’s ill-discipline leading to his exile and exit from the club.

Amazon’s All Or Nothing documentary this week laid bare the fall-out between Arteta and Aubameyang, with the manager keeping a ‘catalogue of misdemeanours’ by the 33-year-old, who was stripped of the captaincy and then paid to leave for Barcelona in January.
