However, as Arsenal traverse through a difficult post-Wenger era, new gaffer Unai Emery is still testing out his options and making sure he’s fielding the right combinations.
After the first few matches, there was an outcry from the fans pleading for Aubameyang and Lacazette to be deployed alongside each other and that, in fact, worked as Arsenal got past Cardiff by the skin of their teeth thanks to goals from the duo.
Moreover, the pair has a positive off-pitch relationship as well. Last season, when Lacazette was struggling with form, Aubameyang decided to hand over spot-kick duties to his partner. They seem to be getting along just fine and seems to thrive in each other’s company.
Now, Unai Emery himself has weighed in on the debate and offered his perspective on the issue.
Arsenal will be travelling to St. James Park tomorrow to play Rafa Benitez’s Newcastle United. Last season, when the Gunners suffered a defeat in the same fixture, it was Aubameyang and Lacazette who combined to get Wenger’s men their only goal of the game.
