After three matches Aubameyang has 0 goals.When Arsenal signed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, it was a huge coup for the club. The forward was ripping the Bundesliga apart – and was great in his first six months at Arsenal.
However, this season he’s struggled.
It’s been three games and Auba is yet to find the back of the net. To make matters worse, Arsenal only have three points on the board and have lost two of their opening three.
Some fans and the media might be talking about his lack of goals, but the player himself is relaxed.
Auba posted a video from Arsenal training, joking about being played in a new position due to his lack of goals.
Fans and Emery will love to see that, especially as the player is clearly in good spirits.

Manager Unai Emery is a big fan of the forward.
The two have a good relationship, and Emery has backed Auba to get goals.
He noted the whole team have to work together and make sure they’re doing the right thing to help each other.
Emery also added that it’s only a matter of time before Auba is back on the scoresheet.
He has had very few chances at all, really. The only one that he noticeably should have scored was the wide open one against Chelsea. That chance aside, he’s been starved of opportunity.
Like everything else in the new Emery era, Aubameyang just needs time. Time to sort himself out. Time to gel with the new system. Time for Emery to figure out how best to situate the attack to benefit his most useful players (hint: it probably involves Alexandre Lacazette).
