He’s got to stay now – Arteta hopes Cup win will keep Aubameyang
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta hopes striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be “convinced we are going in the right direction” after the Gunners beat holders Manchester City 2-0 to book their place in the FA Cup final.
Aubameyang scored both goals as Arsenal beat City 2-0 at Wembley. His current contract expires at the end of the 2020-21 season.
Earlier this month, Arteta said he hoped the Gabon international “will be here for a long time”.
“I think everyone has good moments and bad moments, the way he looks at it when I speak with him, he sounds pretty convinced,” said Arteta.
“But if he can see the success and direction we are taking, it is the right one, I think he’ll be more positive about it. Big players get criticism when things don’t work. But he showed today on the pitch – not talking – what he can do.”
Arsenal will face Chelsea or Manchester United in the FA Cup final on 1 August.

Hi, I'm Jadesola and if you've been here a while, you'll know that Ekomiami has always existed without a face. That changes now. I founded this platform in Lagos in 2018, originally as a space for entertainment and celebrity news. Over time and across continents my world grew bigger and so did my curiosity. Today, Ekomiami is what it was always quietly becoming: a home for travel, food, arts, and culture, told through the eyes of someone navigating the world from a very particular vantage point. With a background in content and media production. I write and create about the places I go, the food I find, and the experiences that make travel feel like more than a holiday. You'll find me in Bordeaux wine bars, on Albanian coastlines, in English market towns, and at restaurant tables taking notes between courses. The name "Ekomiami", "Lagos to Miami" has always been about movement, ambition, and showing up somewhere new. Seven years in, I'm stepping out from behind it. Welcome to the journey, properly.
