Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has angered Arsenal fans after he declared that he is 'blue' ahead of Chelsea's clash against the Gunners.

Aubameyang swapped Arsenal for Barcelona back during the January transfer window after he fell out with Arteta.

The striker's decision to join the Blues did not go well with most Arsenal fans, who felt the Gabonese betrayed them with the transfer.

Auba angers Arsenal fans

The former Borussia Dortmund striker seems to have added salt to an injury after a video of him sending Arsenal an early warning surfaced.

The promotional video was shared by BT Sport ahead of Chelsea's meeting with Arsenal, with the former Gabon international declaring he is 'back, blue and ready.'

His message has left many Arsenal fans angry, with a section of them taking to social media to hit out at the Chelsea ace.

One fan posted on Twitter:

'We have to win. The disrespect he's shown the club after so many of us have supported him even after he left is insane.'

A second added:

'Aubameyang "it's not personal", bro just made it personal in my opinion.'

Another noted:

'Seeing his true colours.'

Below are more reactions:

Potter urged to offload Aubameyang

Sports Brief had earlier reported that former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino had urged Blues boss Graham Potter to offload Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Aubameyang sealed a stunning move to Stamford Bridge in the summer from Barcelona under former manager Thomas Tuchel.

The Gabonese forward's move to Chelsea saw him make a sensational return to the Premier League, barely six months after he had left when he swapped Arsenal for Barca.
