Everyone Is Saying The Same Hilarious Thing About Mertesacker And Aubameyang

Arsenal have welcomed a speed-demon to their ranks in the shape of Gabon's lethal frontman Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. So, spare a thought for Per Mertesacker who's had to track the new man during training.

While the Gunners have lost Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United, Arsene Wenger has not only drafted in Henrikh Mkhitaryan but also Aubameyang from Borusssia Dortmund for a club record fee.

Naturally, the prospect of Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang linking up has Arsenal fans salivating.

But the Arsenal faithfuls may have to wait to see their new striker in action, with the 28-year-old battling flu.

Ahead of potentially making his Arsenal debut on Saturday, Aubameyang has been going through his paces during Friday's training session.

And a specific picture really, really stood out.

Stuart MacFarlane, chief Photographer at Arsenal, snapped a brilliant picture capturing the moment Mertesacker was chasing Aubameyang.

Needless to say, it sent social media into overdrive. Here's some reaction from Twitter:

What a sight!

Wenger and the fans alike will be praying Aubameyang is fully fit for the league clash against Everton.
