FURIOUS Arsenal fans have demanded Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is stripped of the club captaincy after his brother slammed incoming manager Mikel Arteta.
The Gabon striker has found himself the latest skipper to draw the ire of Gooners after he was handed the armband following Granit Xhaka's bust-up with supporters.
Arsenal fans have a conspiracy that whenever a player is named captain, it always ends badly for the player or club and they end up leaving.
William Gallas, Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie, Thomas Vermaelen, Laurent Koscielny, and Arteta himself have all fallen foul of “the curse.”
And it seems to have now hit Aubameyang following the news that the Gunners are in advanced talks with Arteta about leaving as Manchester City No 2 to take over from the axed Unai Emery.
The prospect of the former midfielder's imminent arrival has reportedly sparked concerns among the Arsenal dressing room over the Spaniard's experience.
Those rumours were brought to a head when Aubameyang's brother Willy publicly blasted the Londoners for continuing to choose managers without top-flight credentials.
Commenting on an Arsenal Fan TV Instagram post that suggests Arteta will be announced, he replied: “Ljungberg Arteta is the same, no experiance [sic]”.
