From there, Xavi became convinced to sign Aubameyang. The Gabon striker paid for Xavi’s trust with his goals.
On the other hand, Arteta and Arsenal really let Aubameyang go. Because it is believed, Arsenal’s departure can make the club’s balance sheet healthier because of his expensive salary (Rp 6.6 billion per week).
