‘Aubameyang can’t catch Henry & Wright but can be a legend’ – Keown delights in Arsenal striker’s new contract

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will struggle to chase down Thierry Henry and Ian Wright in the goal stakes at Arsenal but a man with a new contract to his name can still cement a reputation as a Gunners legend, says Martin Keown.

After a period of much uncertainty at Emirates Stadium, with Mikel Arteta admitting that he feared a deal would not be done at one stage, a talismanic presence has committed to fresh terms.

Aubameyang has extended his association with Arsenal through to 2023, with the Gabonese striker now free to focus on his football and enhancing a record that is already mightily impressive.
