Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sends message to the rest of the Premier League amid Man United links

Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has insisted that he will perform even better next season for the Gunners, despite taking home the Premier League golden boot in the campaign just gone.

The Gabon international scored 22 Premier League goals during the 2018/19 season, meaning that he was the top scorer in the league tied with Liverpool duo Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, who both notched the same amount of goals.

Aubemeyang has been the subject of much speculation over the last few months, with Manchester United becoming the latest team to be credited with interest in the 30-year-old, reports suggesting that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is ready to make a £70m offer.

The season did end in disappointment for Arsenal. A fifth place Premier League finish and a 4-1 defeat to Chelsea in the Europa League final means that the Gunners will have to settle for another season without Champions League football, but Aubameyang has insisted that the support of his family will help him come back stronger next season at the Emirates Stadium. 

"Of course the season didn’t end the way we wanted it to," the striker wrote on the club's official website. "Losing a final like that is tough for everyone, the players, our families and the fans. We were all gutted in the dressing room after what happened in Baku and that’s when you need the people around you.

"As always, my father had travelled to Baku with the rest of my family to watch me play.

"Just continue the way you’re going,” he said after the match. “You can do it better, you can get even better.”

"I’ve listened to my father’s advice throughout my whole career so if he tells me that I can get even better, then that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

"Next season… let’s go!"
