Former head of recruitment Sven Mislintat believes that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang attitude has cost him a move to Real Madrid or Barcelona during his career.
Speaking to The Athletic, Mislintat gave an insight into the Gabon forward’s move to Arsenal and how things could have been so different for the player.
Since he joined Arsenal, he played where he was asked and needed, and so he helped especially Lacazette to adapt to the Premier League. Maybe this attitude costs him to play for clubs like Real Madrid or Barcelona but maybe they made a mistake not to go for him. I like his mindset. It is good for a team’s atmosphere.
Are Mislintat’s comments fair or has the striker proven him wrong at the Emirates?
Read Arsenal verdict
There have always been concerns about Aubameyang’s attitude. The same report goes on to add that even Arsene Wenger had his doubts about the player.
However, Arsenal fans cannot speak highly enough of the striker since his arrival at the club.
Not only has he carried the pressure of leading the line for Arsenal, but he has also stepped up in crucial moments.
Off the pitch, he is known to be quite the character, integrating himself with the younger players at the club.
He may have made some mistakes off the pitch in the past, but Arsenal will be more than delighted with the impact he has had during his time at the club.
