Aubameyang should dump Arsenal for a more ambitious club - Gabon FA president

The President of the Gabon Football Association has urged Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang dump the Gunners to "secure a contract with a more ambitious club."

Auba joined the North-London side for £56m from Borussia Dortmund in January 2018 and has since struggled to win a single silverware.

With his contract set to run out at the end of the 2020-21 season, Pierre Alain Mounguengui feels it's time to move elsewhere.

IN an interview with ESPN, Mounguengui said, "Right now, he's at Arsenal, and he's won nothing here, so it's a collective failing."

"I don't want to say that Arsenal aren't ambitious, but Arsenal don't have ambitions as high as some other clubs as far as Europe is concerned."

Last month, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said he wants to keep Aubameyang "under any circumstances" and the club need to discuss a new deal before the end of the season.

The Gabon international has scored 20 goals in all competitions for the Gunners in 2019-20 and is a reported target for clubs including Barcelona and Inter Milan.

"If Pierre could secure a contract with a more ambitious club, he'd definitely find his place there," Mounguengui added.

"All Gabonese people see Aubameyang at this level, where he can now end his career at a major club and, above all, beyond individual trophies, to bring home a major competition."

The ex-Dortmund striker finished last season as the joint-top scorer in the Premier League with 22 goals.
