Former Chelsea star Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink believes releasing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was a big mistake from Arsenal and Mikel Arteta. "I think they should have kept him, especially if they don’t have anyone to replace him," Hasselbaink argued on Sky Sports."He may have been causing trouble on the pitch and off it, but he is the club’s most expensive player and was the club captain, but he scored a lot of goals, and he has proven that since he has moved to Barcelona. And that is what Arsenal need, a goalscorer."
