Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s new contract didn’t just fill Arsenal fans’ hearts with joy, it’s also set to fill the player’s pockets as well.
Arsenal revealed that the Gabonese striker had signed a new three-year deal with the club on Tuesday.
It’s been revealed that the player will now earn a little over £350,000-per-week, making him the highest-paid footballer in the Premier League.
He had previously been on £200,000-per-week but got his much-deserved bump up after a worrying period for Arsenal fans who feared that they might lose their captain.
In fact Arsenal have three players in the top 10, including outcast Mesut Ozil who signed a new deal worth £350,000 every week in September, and new signing Willian.
Man United keeper, David De Gea is tied with Ozil on £350,000 after signing a new deal last year.
