Now news After just one season former Arsenal captain and striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang confirmed his resignation from Olympique de Marseille claiming a desire to “open a new chapter” in his career.
Aubameyang’s statement on Instagram read: “I had a year full of emotions and I would like to thank the entire club, the staff, my teammates and our supporters. You made me stronger and these memories with you will stay with you forever. As you know, I always followed my father’s advice, which allowed me to become the player I am and we therefore made this decision for the rest of my career.
It’s time for me to start a new chapter.
“Thank you Mr. Frank McCourt, thank you Pablo for accepting my departure, thank you for your unfailing support but above all thank you for giving me the chance to discover the warmth and passion of the Vélodrome.
“Forever go OM💫 I will never forget you”
His departure has sparked speculation about his next destination, but it didn’t take long for it to be announced that he had signed a two-year deal with Al-Qadsiah FC
This transfer could potentially trigger further moves involving current and former Arsenal players, with Marseille reportedly interested in either Eddie Nketiah or Alexis Sanchez as Aubameyang’s replacement.
Aubameyang joined Marseille last July from Chelsea and, after a very slow start, enjoyed a successful season, scoring 30 goals in all competitions. However, his time in France will be short-lived, and he now looks set to embark on a new adventure, leaving behind a legacy of goals and excitement at the Stade Vélodrome
During his time at Arsenal, Aubameyang was a fan favourite, known for his pace, finishing ability, and flamboyant celebrations. He won the Premier League Golden Boot in the 2018-19 season, sharing the award with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané. Despite his success, his departure from the club was marred by disciplinary issues and a falling-out with manager Mikel Arteta.
