Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ended speculation over his Arsenal future on Tuesday.

To clarify, the Gunners captain signed a new three-year contract with the FA Cup holders.

Here, Candiidonline places a closer look at just how important the Gabonese strike has proven himself to be at the Emirate Stadium.

1. He Scored On His Debut

Aubameyang scored on his Arsenal debut in a Premier League win over Everton in February 2018.

Arsene Wenger signed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January 2018 for a then club-record fee. So, the striker moved from Borussia Dortmund on the final day of the January transfer window for £56million.

Aubameyang soon set about showing the Premier League just how clinical he gets in front of goal.

Scoring on his debut in a 5-1 win over Everton, Aubameyang would also have the honour of notching the last goal of Wenger's 22-year tenure in a 1-0 victory at Huddersfield.

2. He Struck Hat-trick Against Valencia In Arsenal's Europa League Semi-Final 2018-19

Gunners chose Unai Emery to replace Wenger and he, too, would reap the benefits of Aubameyang's prowess.

Having had the back end of the previous campaign to find his feet, the 2018-19 season was another one full of goals for the striker.

His 22 goals from 30 Premier League starts saw him share the Golden Boot with Liverpool duo Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah and took Arsenal within a point of a return to the top four.

He was also eligible for that season's Europa League and again shone, eight goals in 10 starts.

Aubameyang hit a hat-trick in Arsenal's Europa League semi-final second leg win over Valencia. The victory carried Arsenal to the final, where Chelsea beat them 4-1.
