Arteta denies rumors of a rift with Aubameyang
Despite rumors of fallout after he dropped his captain to the bench, Mikel Arteta said on Friday that he has 'never' discussed selling out of form striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the January transfer window.
The 32-year-old has failed to score in his last six league appearances and started Arsenal's defeat at Everton on Monday on the bench.
Following back-to-back league defeats, on Saturday the Spaniard's side host a struggling Southampton, who sit 16th in the table.
