Ousted Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has disclosed that he never meant to do anything wrong, adding that manager Mikel Arteta was his problem, Football365 reports.

And the 32-year-old was frozen out of the Arsenal first team, forcing him to cancel his contract with the Premier League club.

During his unveiling at the Catalan club, the 2015 African Player of the Year attacked Arteta but quickly cautioned himself not to spill more than necessary.

He said as per SPORTbible:

"My last few months at Arsenal were complicated, that's football sometimes," he said.

"For my part, I never wanted to do anything wrong. My problem was only with Arteta. I can't say much more, I wasn't happy.

"They were complicated months and I think that this is football sometimes. If I have to say something on this subject I say that I have never wanted to do something wrong.

"This is in the past and I want to think about the present. I haven't played for a long time, but everything is very clear in my head. I'm ready to play and help. I know we're going to return to the top little by little."

How much will Aubameyang earn at Barcelona?

Metro reports that the striker who earned £350,000-a week has agreed to take a considerable pay cut in order to make the move to Barcelona as his deal with the Catalan giants is worth £80,000-a-week before bonuses.

Why Hazard is struggling at Real Madrid

Sports Brief earlier reported that Chelsea star Saul Nuguez has taken time to explain that the Spanish La Liga is different from the English Premier League and that is why Eden Hazard is struggling.

Hazard remains a cult hero at the London club having helped the Blues to two Premier League titles, two Europa League titles as well as the FA Cup in seven years.

The Belgian made 352 appearances for the Stamford Bridge outfit and scored 110 goals in all competitions to make him one of their most impressive signings.
