Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang performances have dropped off

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s performances have dropped off since he signed his new £250,000-a-week Arsenal contract, according to former Tottenham striker Darren Bent.

And Bent has noticed a contrast in his displays since Aubameyang signed new terms earlier this season, claiming he is no longer ‘running, tracking back and putting tackles in’.

The forward scored in Arsenal’s 3-0 win at Fulham on the opening day of the season but since then has bagged one Premier League goal in nine matches. He hasn’t scored in open play since September 12 and on Sunday he had just one shot on target and only nine touches in Wolves’ penalty area.
