Arsenal captain Aubameyang: Lacazette and I immediately hit it off

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is happy over his strike-partnership at Arsenal with Alexandre Lacazette.

Aubameyang and Lacazette have scored 24 out of Arsenal's 40 Premier League goals this season.

The captain told Telefoot: "It's funny, because we didn't really know each other. Of course, we knew each other as rivals for Lyon and St. Etienna, but we didn't come across each other anywhere.

"But when I got to Arsenal, he said 'Oooh Aubame' and all that. We laughed at each other right away and it was great to encounter French players.

"He is really cool and honest, which makes it a pleasure to work with him on a daily basis. For training and in everyday life he is a good guy. The chemistry is there and on the field it happens automatically."
