has been a talismanic presence at the Emirates Stadium since joining the Gunners in January 2018.

In an interview with Arsenal’s

, the Gabon international reflected on his experience with the Londoners and the impact he’s been trying to make at the Emirates Stadium, while marking himself as ‘the coolest captain in the Premier League’.

“I’m the coolest captain in the league, maybe in the world!’

Aubameyang said.

“To tell the truth I try to be an example, I think that is the most important part of being a captain and trying to inspire the young people in the squad but also the older people as well. I try to give my best and give whatever I can for the club.

“This is the job, when you are the captain, this is the job: you have to take it, to accept it and deal with it. It’s a nice job, it is the nicest job in football. Definitely.”

He added:

“I think it’s really important to speak to the team and I think everyone is expecting me to communicate a lot but I’m a quiet guy, a shy guy, but that’s okay!

“I try to improve on that and definitely I try to speak, most importantly in the dressing room, I think that is the biggest part for me. I try always to be positive and give support to the guys.”

Having been unbeaten in their last 10 outings, Mikel Arteta’s men will face

on Saturday in their first Premier League match after the international break.
