‘I am the coolest captain in the league’ – Aubameyang happy with role at Arsenal

Arsenal forward Pierre Emerick Aubameyang says he is “the coolest captain in the league, maybe in the world”, adding that the opportunity to captain the Gunners is “the nicest job in football”.

The 32-year-old Gabon international, who has captained Arsenal since 2019, told the club’s official website: “I’m the coolest captain in the league, maybe in the world!

“To tell the truth I try to be an example, I think that is the most important part of being a captain and trying to inspire the young people in the squad but also the older people as well. I try to give my best and give whatever I can for the club.

“This is the job, when you are the captain, this is the job: you have to take it, to accept it and deal with it. It’s a nice job, it is the nicest job in football. Definitely.”

Aubameyang, who’s been with Arsenal since 2018, has registered 92 goals for the club in 159 appearances.

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last ten games across all competitions and will try to maintain their momentum when they face Liverpool at Anfield this Saturday.
