The Aubameyang secret that is not such a secret

You have to hand it to the English tabloids, they literally have no shame and will put out stories that either contradicts themselves or are simply outright lies.

Each morning I go through Arsenal related headlines, it is my job after all and sometimes I come across the most outrageous headlines or articles that simply have to be called out.

This headline from the Daily Express and the accompanying article fit the bill of utter ridiculousness.

Arsenal star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang holding secret talks about Real Madrid transfer

WOW, where to start?

First, how the hell is it secret if it is being splashed across their website?

Second, these so-called secret talks are not actually with Real Madrid, they are supposedly with his teammates Dani Ceballos and Mesut Ozil, yup, Mesut Ozil.

It seems that by asking Ceballos and Ozil what it is like at Real Madrid is enough for the Daily Express to proclaim that Aubameyang is holding secret talks.

They cite some obscure Spanish publication for these revelations, I mean, this is as clickbait as you can get.

How any of them know what or who he is talking to is beyond me but even if Ceballos or Ozil are running off to the media and saying Aubameyang asked me what life is like at Real Madrid how the hell does that justify such a headline or article, there is literally nothing of any substance to back up either.

The headline is misleading in the extreme, the article is woeful and the really sad thing about this is that some Arsenal fans will fall for this rubbish.

Do not fall for this made-up rubbish and remember the name Jack Otway, he is the so-called journalist that wrote this garbage because by remembering his name you will know anything he writes in future is almost certainly fake and can be disregarded.
