(Reuters) - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang said he contemplated leaving Arsenal but opted to extend his contract after manager Mikel Arteta revitalised the Premier League club and told him that he could leave behind a legacy at the Emirates Stadium.

Aubameyang, Arsenal's top scorer over the last two seasons, signed a new three-year deal last week, ending speculation over a potential exit as he entered the final year of his previous contract at the north London club.
