Ian Wright urges Mikel Arteta to 'KILL' rift with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after Arsenal boss refused to be drawn on saga following win over West Ham as Gunners legend implores club to 'move on' from row

Ian Wright has implored Mikel Arteta to 'kill' his bad blood with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, with the Arsenal legend that the club's manager and former captain can 'move on' following their win over West Ham.

Arsenal confirmed the £350,000-a-week striker had been relieved of the armband following his 'latest' disciplinary breach last week, which saw him return back late from France after collecting his sick mother.

The former Dortmund star was left out of the Gunners' matchday squad for the last two games against Southampton and West Ham, with Alexandre Lacazette wearing the armband in his absence.
