How 'positive' Laca has helped Aubameyang settle

The blossoming partnership between Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette is one that should fill Arsenal fans with optimism.

The two strikers have formed a strong bond both on and off the pitch, even if Auba wasn't too sure about his new team-mate at first!

"My friend Lacazette was at Lyon when I was at St Etienne," Aubameyang said. "He’s a player I appreciate and was good for me when I arrived here as he’s a nice person, very positive. 

"I wasn’t 100 per cent sure about him when I came here as there were some Lyon players I didn’t get on well with but he wasn’t someone I had problems with when I played against them. 

"I’m really happy to get to know someone so positive and he helped me settle into the dressing room."
