Arsenal news: unai emery reveals expectations for aubameyang

The Gabon striker, 29, rattled 10 goals in 13 Premier League outings following his club record £56million arrival from Borussia Dortmund in January, and new Gunners boss Emery is convinced

that red-hot form will continue alongside Alexandre Lacazette and Mesut Ozil. Emery said: “I want strikers who have the possibilities to go for goal and I want to give them more options to

attack. I believe in the quality of these players.” Anyone thinking that sounds ominous for Danny Welbeck is wrong as Spaniard Emery added: “Danny has multi-position possibilities – right

winger, left winger, striker. And yesterday he worked with us at left-back. “I’ve said to him I want the best performance in his career, with better quality, more goals, more assists.” Emery

is among the most decorated managers now working, having won nine trophies in five years with Sevilla and Paris St-Germain. And he chose a player with an equally impressive medal haul to

get his message across ahead of champions Manchester City’s visit. New signing Stephan Lichtsteiner lifted seven Serie A titles with Lazio and Juventus, and Emery said: “The past is good but

it’s finished. You are working and thinking in the present and the future. “We were talking with the team about this and it was the moment for Lichtsteiner to speak because maybe he is the

player with us who has won the most titles. “Of course we want to remember our titles from a big career. Yet we must understand this is a new moment and then we can try to win more.” Arsene

Wenger’s Gunners lost at home to City 3-0 last season but Emery is promising a different Arsenal. He added: “We want to transmit one idea, with personality, style and ambition. We take the

responsibility to be protagonists, to be central characters… more than just be in possession.” Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has total respect for his fellow Spaniard and tips Emery to

find his feet quickly in England. Guardiola said: “I think he has enough experience to know exactly what he has to do. He was in France and was on many, many teams in Spain, so he has a lot

of experience. “He’s so smart, intelligent, a well-prepared manager. He started at the bottom and made his excellent career, winning titles and making his teams always difficult. Of course

he is a contender to win titles.”
