Never seen Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang transmit what he is doing now, proclaims Mikel Arteta

That includes four in the Premier League in his first eight games, a tally that he took 19 games to achieve last term and it has fans overjoyed at the run of form Aubameyang has found himself in. But, while Mikel Arteta is also pleased with the 32-year-old’s form, he also admitted that the way the forward has developed has made him even more happy. The Arsenal manager added that the way both Aubameyang and Lacazette have turned things around has really impressed him and he hopes it continues.

"I wouldn't go to the goals, again it is what Aubameyang is transmitting on the pitch. I have never seen Aubameyang transmit what he is doing now.. Apart from the goals, the celebration when they put the ball in the net, do you see the way he runs, the purpose he has to press the ball, and, when he takes it his movement, his link, how he is leading the game, not when he is static, and then he puts the ball in the net? I prefer this Aubameyang,” Arteta said, reported Sky Sports

"He had to take a step forward. I would say the same with Lacazette, look what he is transmitting, not just doing or playing, what he is transmitting. For me that is really, really important,” he added.
