Norwich boss Farke: Crazy Aubameyang can be good Arsenal captain

Norwich City boss Daniel Farke has sung the praises of Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Farke knows there is another side to a man who was a colleague when he was reserve team coach and assistant to manager Thomas Tuchel at Borussia Dortmund.

"He's not a typical leader as the captain is usually a solid defensive player who is disciplined while Pierre-Emerick is likely to do something crazy on the pitch - it is one of his strengths to do the unexpected," he said ahead of today's clash.

"Now he is more experienced and has always been a great guy in the dressing room and for his team-mates. You can always count on him for that. It is no coincidence that he has been allowed to wear the captain's armband."
