Arsenal’s very own Pierre ‘Black Panther’ Aubameyang believes that he can still claim Premier League golden boot this season, which will serve as mark of an elite striker that he is.
Aubameyang says that winning the golden boot in his first full season in England and with Arsenal will mean alot, as he is placed with nineteen goals – two behind Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, WHO leads the race for this season’s golden boot.
Arsenal still have couple of games left (Brighton and Burnley) where Auba can add more to his goal tally and swipe home another golden boot to accompany the one his won with Dortmund two seasons ago.
“When you’re a striker it means a lot,” the 29-year-old ace from Gabon spoke in a press conference.
“When you win it, it’s always a pleasure. If you want to be the best you have to win the Golden Boot.
“It’s a tough battle. We have great strikers in the Premier League. They are so consistent all season. They score and they score and they score.
“The best strikers are just waiting to score all season. That’s what makes them so special.
“But I am a guy who is confident and I know I can do it. No problem if not but there’s still two games to play in the Premier League so I have my chances and why not?”
Pierre then discussed his ‘much talked‘ relationship with strike partner Alexandre Lacazette, who earlier won Arsenal’s Player of the Year award.
“Maybe this is the first season in my career that I play with another striker like [Lacazette],” he continued.
“I’m really happy that we’re doing well. We always give everything for the team and Laca deserves to score goals, and I think I do as well.
“We have the same vision about football when we talk in the dressing room, the same ideas and the same feelings. The fact that we understand each other is the thing that makes the difference in the games.”
After Arsenal missing out couple of seasons from the Champions League, Aubameyang is hopeful they can play in Europe’s most elite division next season.
“My ambition was to bring the club back into the Champions League and we are not so far away. Hopefully we will reach this target,” Aubameyang said.
