David Seaman rips into Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman has slammed Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and ‘wanted fans to proper boo him’.

After goading his old club in the build-up to Sunday’s clash between Chelsea and Arsenal, Aubameyang was subbed off after 64 minutes as the Blues lost 1-0.

The 33-year-old, who departed north London in January after falling out with boss Mikel Arteta and was stripped of the club’s captaincy, was then benched and did not come on as Chelsea crashed out of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

Aubameyang has scored just three goals across 12 games for the Blues since he arrived in the summer following a six-month stint at Barcelona.

Seaman says he is not surprised by Aubameyang’s poor form and was disappointed that the Gabon international did not face more boos on Sunday at Stamford Bridge, with Arsenal fans still celebrating their goal when he came off.

‘The Aubameyang situation… his last season at Arsenal is exactly what it’s like now [at Chelsea],’ he told Seaman Says.

‘The fact that Barcelona let him go tells you everything. I’m not surprised [he is struggling].

‘I’m not surprised the way he is playing. That’s what he been like for quite a while now. He does it in flashes, he doesn’t do it for long enough.

‘The only disappointing this about the weekend is that when Arsenal scored, he sneaked off.

‘I wanted the Arsenal fans to proper boo him. They didn’t get that chance as he got hooked off straight away as soon as we scored and all the Arsenal fans were too busy celebrating.’

Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes couldn’t resist a cheeky dig at former team-mate Aubameyang after the game.

Aubameyang recorded a pre-match promo in which he said he was ‘ready’ for the fixture and that it was ‘nothing personal’ now that he was playing for Chelsea.

After Arsenal left west London with all three points, Gabriel posted on Twitter: ‘NOTHING PERSONAL .. LONDON IS RED.’

Aaron Ramsdale claims Aubameyang was not mentioned by the Arsenal squad in their pre-match talks, but Rio Ferdinand is not buying it at all.
