Arsenal star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang issues Alexandre Lacazette message to Unai Emery
ARSENAL star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has told Unai Emery he loves playing alongside Alexandre Lacazette.
Arsenal star Lacazette scores unbelievable goals in training
The pair started during Arsenal’s 2-0 win against Chelsea on Saturday evening.
Lacazette netted the opener against the Blues, with Laurent Koscielny scoring the second.
However, Aubameyang and Lacazette haven’t started together as much as originally thought, with Emery sometimes pushing one of them to the left wing.
The pair both played through the middle against Chelsea - and Aubameyang has told Emery to keep it that way.
It is nice between us, it’s not a bad rivalry, we are friends
Aubameyang said: “It was really nice. I think we did a lot of runs, a lot of efforts for the team, we worked a lot and of course we are happy when we play together because we have such a good feeling between us. It was cool.
“Why not? Sincerely, I hope so because when you have a striker like Alex near to you then he’s really good to play with. I hope we will play more games together.
“Since I joined Arsenal he was here and he came to me and talked to me and now we are going well, we have the same vision about football and I love him! He’s a great guy.
“It is nice between us, it’s not a bad rivalry, we are friends.

“When one is going well the other is happy and that’s the most important thing, to do well.”
Arsenal and Aubameyang are back in action on Friday night against Manchester United in the FA Cup.
And the Gunners striker is hoping Arsenal can kick on from their win against Chelsea.
“This win was very important. We knew that it was important to get a result,” he added.
“It’s a very good win for us because now we are only three points from Chelsea.
“We’re not far. We will try to keep the distance very low.
“This gives us a lot of confidence that we can finish the season well.”
