The Gabon international signed from Borussia Dortmund in
January 2018 and has since made 111 appearances and scored 72 goals.
In his first full
season with Arsenal, Aubameyang jointly won the Premier League Golden Boot with
22 goals.
Last season he scores 29 goals in 44 appearances in all
competitions, scoring twice in the Heads Up FA Cup final victory against
Chelsea.
He kicked off this season in similar fashion, scoring
against Liverpool in the Community Shield as Arsenal lifted the trophy on
penalties and score the winner in the penalty Shootout.
“Signing for this special club was never in doubt,"
Auba said. "It’s thanks to Arsenal fans, my team-mates, my family and
everybody at this club that I feel like I belong here. I believe in Arsenal. We
can achieve big things together. We have something exciting here and I believe
the best is to come for Arsenal.”
Mikel Arteta added: “It was important for Pierre-Emerick to
stay with us. He’s a superb player with
an incredible mentality. Being the player to have taken the least amount of
time to reach 50 goals with this club tells you everything you need to know
about him and his way of working.
"He’s an important leader for the team and a big part
of what we’re building. He wants to be
up there with the best players in the world and leave his mark. He can achieve
that here.”
Technical director Edu said: “It’s clear Auba loves the club
and everything we stand for on and off the pitch. He’s obviously a very
important part of the team so we’re all delighted he has committed his future to
us. It’s a big boost for everyone – fans, team-mates and staff.”
