#3 Alexandre Lacazette - £182,063 per week
Arsenal have struggled to find a striker to score at least 20 goals in the Premier League this season as goals have dried up for Aubameyang as well, with the Gabonese striker scoring 14 goals in the league since the start of the 2020-21 campaign.
Alexandre Lacazette was signed from Lyon after finishing the 2016-17 Ligue 1 campaign with 28 goals. Although he has managed to hit double-digit figures in the Premier League every season, he has been at the receiving at of some flak from the fans due to his inconsistencies in front of the goal.
His contract expires in the summer and as things stand, he is free to contact other clubs.
#2 Thomas Partey - £200,000 per week
Thomas Partey is another of Arsenal's recent signings to feature in this list. The Ghanian midfielder made a name for himself at Atletico Madrid as a tough-tackling midfielder but it would suffice to say that he has struggled a bit to adapt to the Premier League.
Partey cost Arsenal £50 million in 2020, becoming one of the highest-paid players at the club. The most expensive Ghanaian player of all time has been able to score just one goal in the one-and-a-half seasons at the club so far.
#1 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - £250,000 per week
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has endured a difficult few months at Arsenal recently and there were reports of some friction between him and manager Arteta. He has not featured for Arsenal since their loss to Everton in December, following a disciplinary breach that saw him lose his captain's armband as well.
He scored 22 goals in his first two full seasons at the club, winning the Golden Boot in the 2018-19 campaign. His goal-scoring form helped him earn an improved contract in 2020, until 2023, but his form has only taken a hit since then.
Aubameyang had to return from AFCON after being diagnosed with heart lesions following a COVID-19 positive test, so it remains to be seen how soon he can resume training with the club and whether he will be allowed to be included in the squad after the international break.
He is also being constantly linked with a move away from the club but his wages are proving to be a deterrent from any interested parties.
