Seaman: I was happy Arsenal fans booed Aubameyang

Former England goalkeeper David Seaman admits he wanted Arsenal fans to boo Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang when they took on Chelsea in the Premier League recently.

The Gabon striker faced off against his old side last week, with the Gunners getting a 1-0 win away from home.

Aubameyang struggled in the contest and was eventually subbed, with his every touch met with boos from the away Arsenal fans during the contest.

Speaking on his Seaman Says YouTube channel, Seaman said: “The Aubameyang situation… his last season at Arsenal is exactly what it's like now [at Chelsea].

“The fact that Barcelona let him go tells you everything. I'm not surprised [he is struggling].

“I'm not surprised the way he is playing. That's what he been like for quite a while now. He does it in flashes, he doesn't do it for long enough."

He added: “The only disappointing this about the weekend is that when Arsenal scored, he sneaked off.

“I wanted the Arsenal fans to proper boo him. They didn't get that chance as he got hooked off straight away as soon as we scored and all the Arsenal fans were too busy celebrating."
