​Aubameyang tells new Arsenal boss Emery: I prefer central role

Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is hoping that is new manager will use him in a central role this season.

Aubameyang had an impressive half season for the Gunners since arriving from Borussia Dortmund in January.

The Gabon international managed 10 goals and four assists in the Premier League, where he only made 12 starts and one sub appearance.

He was occasionally used by manager Arsene Wenger as a winger, but he will be hoping for a permanent central role next season.

He spoke to RMC about his ideal position and said: "I think everybody knows that I like playing through the centre.

"I hope that we can play with two attackers - that would be ideal. But if the new coach needs me on the wing, there's no problem."
