Jack Wilshere reveals why Premier League defences ‘hate’ Aubameyang

Arsenal news:

Gabon international Aubameyang has settled in well to life at the Emirates following his club record signing from Borussia Dortmund 12 months ago.

The 29-year-old has netted 24 Premier League goals in 35 appearances, as well as setting up seven.

And England midfielder Wilshere admits Aubameyang gets “frustrated” at those in the middle of the park when they don’t find his threatening runs.

“For a midfielder he’s a dream,” Wilshere said on Sky Sports.

“He came in January last year and I played with him for the second half of the season.

“He makes runs and he gets frustrated when midfielders don’t find him.

Arsenal news:

“But he does it consistently throughout the game, he will make three or four runs a half that are crying out for a ball to be put in behind.

“Defences in the Premier League will hate that.

“As a centre-back, the last thing you want is a quick player who runs behind and he does that.”

Arsenal Women legend Alex Scott admits she is also a keen admirer of Aubameyang, stating his “football arrogance” stands him in good stead on the pitch.

“You can just see how much Aubameyang enjoys being out there on the pitch,” Scott said.

Arsenal news:

“Scoring goals, but working hard for other people as well.

“He has that confidence as a player, those top players have it, that football arrogance.

“I don’t know if it is the right word but he has that ‘swag’ about him.

“He’s one of those players in the Premier League who people want to watch and enjoy watching.”
