Exclusive: Aubameyang backed to fire Arsenal past Chelsea in FA Cup final

Dutch-born Ghanaian striker Kevin Luckassen believes the form of Gabon attacker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang should give Arsenal enough to defeat Chelsea in Saturday’s FA Cup final.

The two London-based sides are set to rekindle their rivalry at Wembley Stadium in a heavyweight clash to close out England’s domestic season.

Arsenal will be buoyed by the sharpness of Aubameyang, who scored twice against Watford on the final day of the Premier League on Sunday and finished the championship as the league second joint-top scorer with 22 goals, just one striker behind Leicester City hitman Jamie Vardy.
