Arsenal May Offload £300k A Week Striker

With doubts over the future of some of his players, Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, may also consider selling off out of form striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the UK Times reports.

The Gunners will begin their new Premier League campaign against newly promoted Brentford on Friday.

However, despite saying the club would carry out an unprecedented overhaul of its squad back in March, Arteta has only been able to bring in three new players this summer.

Arsenal, meanwhile, have been unable to shift many of the players who appear to have been deemed surplus to requirements. The likes of Sead Kolasinac, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Lucas Torreira and Reiss Nelson are still on the books.

The returns of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli will provide the Spaniard with some fresh options in attack, but the decline of skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang represents a significant worry.

Aubameyang failed to score during their five pre-season matches and again looked frustrated, stationed out on the left wing during last Sunday’s defeat against Spurs.

The 32-year-old looks a shadow of the player who fired the Gunners to FA Cup glory little over 12 months ago and the club would now be willing to listen to offers for him.

Interest, however, in a player who scored just once in his final 11 games of last season is likely to be little, especially given his near £300,000-a-week wages.

Moroccan international, Achraf Hakimi owns nothing to his name despite earning millions of Euros with Paris Saint Germain (PSG) and the Moroccan national football team, his wife Hiba Abouk has discovered.

Abouk filed for divorce and asked for half of all the property and money owned by Hakimi.

She, however, discovered during ongoing divorce proceedings in court that Hakimi, 24, had registered all his properties and monies in his mother’s name.

Whenever the Moroccan footballer needed anything, he would ask his mother to buy it for him, it was revealed.

All his houses, cars, clothes, and jewellery were found to be in his mother’s name, and millions in salary were deposited in accounts bearing his mother’s name.

It was reported that 80 percent of all that he owns is registered in his mother’s name.

The couple began dating in 2018, married in 2020 and have two sons. She filed for divorce around March 2023.

Pele

The 30 percent of the assets of the late legendary footballer Pele will go to his wife,according to his will disclosed by his lawyer.

The will states that Marcia Cibele Aoki, Pele’s third and last wife, will inherit his mansion in Guaruja, a seaside resort town south of Sao Paulo, where the couple lived, according to her lawyer Luiz Kignel.

Other assets belonging to Pele, who died after battling cancer in late December at age 82, include more real estate and a stake in the Pele brand, Kignel said, adding that a complete inventory has yet to be made.

The remaining 70 percent is reserved for Pele’s children, including an unrecognized daughter that he may have.

“He indicated the possibility of the existence of another daughter, whose recognition will depend on a DNA test, which could not be carried out (on Pele) due to the pandemic and the state of his health,” said Kignel.

According to Kignel, the woman in question is a Brazilian national and she has taken legal steps to be recognized as Pele’s daughter.

In September 2022, a court in Sao Paulo ordered Pele to submit to a DNA test, according to the G1 website. The test must now be performed on one of his seven recognized children.
