Arsenal’s Aubameyang Makes Golden Boot Claim And Discusses Lacazette Link

The Arsenal striker has clocked 19 goals in the league this year, along with five assists.

He is currently two goals behind Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, who has 21 goals and eight assists this term.

With two games remaining, time is running out for the Gabonese star to catch up, but will have the chance to add to his tally against Brighton and Burnley in the final games of the season.

Aubameyang scored the vital third goal for Arsenal against Valencia in the Europa League on Thursday, adding to his 25-goal total for the season thus far.

But the £56million star is adamant that he isn’t finished yet, and has set his sights on the biggest personal prize for a striker.

“When you’re a striker it means a lot,” he said. “When you win it, it’s always a pleasure.

“If you want to be the best you have to win the Golden Boot. It’s a tough battle.

“We have great strikers in the Premier League., they are so consistent all season. They score and they score and they score.

“The best strikers are just waiting to score all season. That’s what makes them so special.

“But I am a guy who is confident and I know I can do it. No problem if not but there’s still two games to play in the Premier League so I have my chances and why not?”

Aubameyang’s impressive form this season has been credited to his partnership with Alexandre Lacazette.

Between them the deadly duo have notched 32 goals and 13 assists, and have fired Arsenal into contention for the Champions League, whilst also making it through to the Europa League semi finals.

“Maybe this is the first season in my career that I play with another striker like [Lacazette],” he continued.

“I’m really happy that we’re doing well. We always give everything for the team and Laca deserves to score goals, and I think I do as well.

“We have the same vision about football when we talk in the dressing room, the same ideas and the same feelings. The fact that we understand each other is the thing that makes the difference in the games.”
