The previous Arsenal man joined Barcelona in January in a free switch after falling out with supervisor Mikel Arteta.
The Gabon ahead made a superb begin to life on the Camp Nou, scoring 13 targets in 23 matches, nevertheless there are strategies he might fall down the pecking order following the acquisition of Robert Lewandowski this summer time.
Bent backed Aubameyang to make a right away affect should Chelsea sign him, nevertheless, he’d relatively have new Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus in his Gunners group than Aubameyang, regardless of his good goalscoring stats for his former membership.
