The president of Gabon’s football association (FEGAFOOT), Pierre Alain Mounguengui, has advised Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to leave Arsenal.
In an interview with ESPN, he urged his compatriot to “secure a contract with a more ambitious club”.
Aubameyang is the reigning equal top scorer in the Premier League, after netting 22 goals for the Gunners last term.
However, the 30-year-old is yet to win any silverware since swapping Borussia Dortmund for the Emirates Stadium in 2018.

“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,” Mounguengui said.
“So if Pierre could secure a contract with a more ambitious club, he’d definitely find his place there.
“On an individual level, we all consider him to be among the best players in the world, but the advice I give to him is to continue to work and to attract the attention of the biggest clubs and the most ambitious clubs.”
Anaedoonline.com reported that Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has urged the board of the club to do whatever it takes to keep Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at the club beyond this season.
Aubameyang will have one year left on his current contract by the summer.
The 30-year-old is desperate to play Champions League football again and has been linked with Barcelona and Inter Milan.
Arsenal are keen to keep Aubameyang, but his contract situation leaves the Gunners in an awkward predicament.
