What’s more, the former Arsenal goalkeeper was hoping far-flung fans would boo him when the two teams met at Stamford Bridge last weekend, the Mirror reports.
– That Barcelona was released says it all. I’m not surprised he’s going through a rough time. Seaman says it’s been this way for a while now.
The thing that disappointed me the most last weekend was that he got away with the game when Arsenal scored. I wanted the Arsenal fans to boo him, but they didn’t get the chance because he was taken off as soon as we scored and everyone was busy celebrating.
Aubameyang was put in the freezer by Mikel Arteta after, among other things, he was late to a gathering. He scored 13 goals in 23 games for Barcelona but was left out of the squad when Robert Lewandowski arrived. So far, Chelsea have scored only three goals in 12 matches.
