The Gabonese joined the Gunners in January 2018 and won the Premier League Golden Boot in his first full season in 2018-19.

He scored in Arsenal’s victory at Fulham last Saturday, the first game of the new Premier League season.

Aubameyang also scored two goals against Chelsea in the FA Cup final in July, securing their Europa League place; and was on target as his club won the Community Shield against Liverpool.

“It was important for Pierre-Emerick to stay with us,” said Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta.

“He’s a superb player with an incredible mentality. Being the player to have taken the least amount of time to reach 50 goals with this club tells you everything you need to know about him and his way of working.”
