How do the Gunners get Aubameyang firing again?

Benched for Arsenal’s biggest match of the season and still in single figures for league goals — this was not in the script when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang signed his bumper contract extension last summer.

The Gabonese frontman has struggled to hit the heights of previous campaigns this term and did not make the starting line-up for last week’s Europa League quarter-final clash with Slavia Prague, which ended 1-1.

As Mikel Arteta’s side prepare for the second leg against the Czechs tonight, we investigate how the Gunners can get more from their star striker.

It is a reflection of Arsenal’s haphazard recruitment that they followed up the signing of Alexandre Lacazette in July 2017 by landing Aubameyang on the final day of January 2018.
