Darren Bent and Lee Dixon don’t want Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to start vs Brighton

Former Premier players Darren Bent and Lee Dixon have suggested on TalkSport that Mikel Arteta should not bring back Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang into the starting line-up against Brighton.

Arsenal ended their barren winless run of seven games after beating Chelsea 3-1 last week in the London derby.

Arteta will be hoping to turn Arsenal’s season around with back to back wins now. The Gunners travel to Amex Stadium to face Brighton, and the Spaniard has a selection dilemma.

It has been widely reported that Aubameyang will return to the team after recovering from a calf injury but Bent wants Arteta to stick with youngsters and keep the Gabon striker on the sidelines.
