Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is confident his recent struggles will not continue and the goals will eventually come.
The Arsenal striker has come in for criticism in recent weeks having gone five Premier League games without scoring.
It is his longest goalless run as a Gunner having not scored in the league since the opening day at Fulham.
You have to go back to his Borussia Dortmund days in 2014 to find Aubameyang's last five-match goalless run.
But the 31-year-old's struggles have coincided with him signing a lucrative new deal in the summer.
Nevertheless the Gabon international is not dwelling on his, or his team's, current form.
“We are not finding scoring goals easy at the moment," he said.
“This happens in teams — I haven’t scored for a few games in the league, either.
“But we’re an experienced team, with experienced attacking players and we know we will turn this around. I’m not worried about that.”
Aubameyang and Arsenal's next assignment is a trip to Old Trafford where they will take on Manchester United.
Last term the two teams played out a 1-1 draw in this fixture with Aubameyang getting on the scoresheet.
United were also the first team Arteta beat as Arsenal boss and the Spaniard has cited the absence of fans as an issue ahead of their clash.
“When you are trying to build a new project there is something you need, and that is your people and your crowd," he said.
“If not, you are unable to generate that synergy, that cohesion, that unity within them so they feel they belong to what we are trying to do – that they feel united, they feel close.
“It is really difficult and we are now suffering when they are not in the stadium because I really want to see them closely – not on TV but really closely – what the team is trying to do, what the players are putting in so they can feel that connection with them."
