The Gabonese striker, the club's talisman last season as
they won the FA Cup, has scored just three league goals this term, with a
particular low point coming against Burnley last month when he scored the decisive
goal at the wrong end.
The 31-year-old's poor form contributed to a terrible start
to the season for the Gunners but after four wins on the trot in all
competitions in recent weeks, Mikel Arteta's side looked to have turned a corner
and Aubameyang hopes his finishing touch will follow suit soon.
'From the beginning of this season I was struggling a lot
but I think this is part of football,' Aubameyang told Sky Sports.
'We gave a lot at the end of the season to win the FA Cup
and to qualify for the Europa League because it was really important for the
club.
'Sometimes you have ups and downs and you have to manage as
best you can. I tried my best and until now it was not the best performance
from me. I'm still positive. I think I can turn this around.'
From a period of looking behind them at a potential
relegation battle, three league wins in a row means Arsenal are now just six
points off north London rivals Tottenham.
Aubameyang did find the back of the net in the Gunners' 2-0
win against Newcastle on Saturday night in the FA Cup third round, but the
striker says improving their position in the league is now the predominant
focus.
'At the moment we are playing well and we have to follow
this way,' Aubameyang added.
'If we win the couple of games that are coming we can turn
around the situation. We are not so far from the top six so this is the moment
to be back in the competition.'
Currently 11th in the table, the Gunners host Crystal Palace
in the Premier League on Thursday night before entertaining Newcastle again on
Monday.
