Graeme Souness stressed that it is 'imperative' Arsenal keep hold of captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after the striker's two-goal heroics against Everton.
The 30-year-old netted twice at the Emirates to ensure Arsenal remain in contention for European football, and rose to become joint top of the Premier League scoring charts alongside Jamie Vardy.
Liverpool legend Souness believes that the former Borussia Dortmund frontman remains crucial to Mikel Arteta's rebuilding project at the club.
Aubameyang fired Arsenal in front with a sublime curling effort just after the half-hour mark, and secured a crucial victory with a textbook header that bounced off the turf and beyond Jordan Pickford.
