AUBAMEYANG READY TO SHINE FOR ARSENAL

- PAUL POGBA

UNAI EMERY has breathed new life into Arsenal and it is already showing in pre-season.

The Gunners have fired 17 goals in their first two matches and there is renewed vigour and hope at London Colney.

Leading the way is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the £56million January signing.

He is already among the goals – taking just 17 minutes to score a hat-trick in Emery’s opening game.

The Gabonese hitman also scored 10 times in 14 games for the club after arriving last term and looks well set to challenge for the Golden Boot in 2018-19.

With Arsenal looking to hit the ground running as they bid to vastly improve on last season, Aubameyang is set to be their main source of goals.

And while they face Man City and Chelsea in their opening two games, he is already worth thinking

about to lead your attack too. PAUL POGBA was outstandin­g for France in the World Cup Final win over Croatia.

Now Jose Mourinho has called on his midfield star to lead Manchester United to the title, saying: “I hope he understand­s why he was so good” during the finals in Russia.

Pogba’s long-distance shot numbers were down and his defensive numbers up during the tournament as he took more care with his game. That could make him a big addition to your side come August.
