As Arsenal fans continue to wait to know the development concerning a new deal for the captain, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the striker is enjoying the recent success of the club – a Community Shield win with his wife, Alysha Behague.
Aubameyang had put Arsenal in the lead with a superb curler in the 12th minute. Liverpool restored parity through substitute, Takumi Minamino later in the second half. Arsenal won the match after the penalty shootout, as Rhian Brewster struck the crossbar.
The 31-year-old Gabon international then sealed the second cup win for the Gunners in 2020 when he scored the winning penalty at Wembley on Saturday.

In the spirit of success, Aubameyang was seen out with his wife after celebrations of the Community Shield.
It’s party time for Aubameyang and wife for now
Meanwhile, the new deal on the table for the striker is reportedly a £250,000-a-week offer. But that’s not what is one Aubameyang’s mind at the moment as the 31-yer-old who looks settled with the club is only interested in enjoying the success.
He, therefore, took out Alysha to continue the celebration off the pitch, having celebrated the victory in the season’s curtain-raiser with teammates.
Auba as he fondly called was spotted wearing a hoodie, jeans and pieces of jewellery. He appeared to be relaxed and in good spirits following his side’s excellent start to the season.
But the fans are eager to know about his future as they remain unsure if he is closer to signing a new contract at the Emirates Stadium.
But Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta had hinted that Aubameyang is close to agreeing to a new three-year extension worth £250,000-a-week.
According to the Mirror, Arsenal is planning to announce the deal before the start of the new Premier League season against Fulham. Reports have it that talks have progressed well in recent weeks.
Other Arsenal transfer news
It appears the Gunners have changed their mind by intending to keep Ainsley Maitland-Niles. This is following his rich vein of form which has resulted in the 23-year-old receiving an England call-up.
They are further expected to complete a £27m deal for Lille defender Gabriel.
Other Arsenal targets include Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey whilst talks with Real Madrid continues over a new loan deal for Dani Ceballos.
