Arsenal v Southampton: What has been said?

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been accused of ‘selling Arsenal short’ with his measly four goal return this season.

Gabriel Agbonlahor told the talkSPORT Breakfast: “I think Arsenal are definitely getting sold short.

“Auba is on £300k-a-week. If I’m an Arsenal fan, I want Salah numbers. I want Salah’s goals and assists tally, but they’re not getting that.”
