Aubameyang voted Gunners Player of the Season

Gabon international and former Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been voted Arsenal’s Player of the Season grabbing 74 per cent of the votes cast by fans.

The forward had another standout campaign for the Gunners, finishing as top scorer once again with 29 goals in all competitions  including the winning strike in the FA Cup final.

Aubameyang was instrumental as Mikel Arteta won his first trophy as Arsenal manager. The striker scored a brace against Manchester City in the semi-final before his two strikes against Chelsea ensured the Gunners won the competition for the 14th time

The 31-year-old was also one goal away from securing the Premier League Golden Boot for a successive year.

Leicester’s Jamie Vardy just piped him to the award with 23 strikes to his 22.

The Gunners  captain has become a  fan favourite at the Emirates even as he moves closer to sealing a much awaited contract extension that will see him remain at the Emirates for the next three years on a £250,000-a-week deal.

His current contract is set to run out in 2021 and initial talks over an extension seemed to have stalled with Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan all linked with making a move.

But the Gunners’ FA Cup glory and Arteta’s promising start to life in management looks to have persuaded the former Monaco ace to give positive thoughts to the north London stay extension.

Prior to what the FA cup victory Gabon FA Chairman Pierre Alain Mounguengui had urged Auba to leave Arsenal for more ambitious club if he hopes to win laurels.
