Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Talks Nicolas Pepe Linkup, Golden Boot Ambitions

Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has said he's looking forward to linking up with Nicolas Pepe for the remainder of the campaign.

The Gunners got their Premier League season off to a winning start on Sunday, with Aubameyang netting the only goal in a 1-0 win at Newcastle United. Pepe, who arrived at Arsenal for a club-record fee this summer, was introduced as a second-half substitute.

Speaking after the match, Aubameyang said he's already been impressed with what he's seen from the winger, per the Arsenal website.

"I'm looking forward to it, because he's a really great player," said the Gabon striker.
