Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to wear No.14 at Arsenal and says he wants to be the new Thierry Henry

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is Arsenal's record signing following his £56million arrival from Borussia Dortmund

Wednesday, January 31, 2018

New Arsenal signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has said he wants to be the new Thierry Henry, after being given the Gunners legend's number 14 shirt.

The Gabon striker revealed his lofty ambitions after completing his move to the Emirates Stadium from Borussia Dortmund for a club-record fee of £56million.

The 28-year-old, who scored 98 goals in 144 Bundesliga games for Dortmund, is a replacement for Alexis Sanchez following his switch to Manchester United.

But Aubameyang has set his sights higher than stepping into the Chilean's boots and said he wants to emulate club legend and record goalscorer Henry.

"I think the club has such a big history and great players like Thierry Henry," the Gunners' new striker told Arsenal Player.

"He's an example for us strikers because he was fast and scored a lot of goals.

"I think I have to work a lot to be like him, but I will do. I'm a fast player and I score goals too, like Henry a little bit. But as I said, I have to work a lot more."

Aubameyang will be reunited with former Dortmund team-mate Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who moved to north London in exchange for Sanchez.

"Of course I can join Micki in this team, so I'm really happy to be here in this great team," he added.

"I hope that we will come back to the top as soon as possible. I will do my best to join in."

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
