Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang says he’ll be very excited to face his former teammates at Arsenal.
Aubameyang left the Emirates back in January after being frozen out of the first-team. The club’s hierarchy elected to terminate his contract after Mikel Arteta reprimanded the player for a disciplinary issue. That allowed Aubameyang to move to Barcelona before returning in the summer to link up with Chelsea.
He told BT Sport: “Yes, definitely a very exciting game and also because they are doing well at the moment. Yeah, before I was on the other side and of course I have some memories of a few games I played against Chelsea now it’s going to be so much different.
“But hopefully we can win this game and we play at home so I think it’s going to be really exciting and yeah, I’m looking forward to it. It’s a big week coming and we will try to give everything to make the most of it. The first game is at home against Arsenal I think it’s going to be fun for sure.”
