Arteta lauds Aubameyang as Arsenal's best player and admits club must do all they can to keep him

Mikel Arteta is confident Arsenal can persuade Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to stay beyond this season - now the striker has answered the manager's own questions over his mindset.

The Arsenal captain scored twice to maintain their resurgence under Arteta with a 3-2 win over Everton at the Emirates on Sunday.

Aubameyang's brace means he now has 17 goals for the season, which puts him level with Jamie Vardy in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot.
