Arsenal strike duo Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have struck up a strong friendship since the latter’s arrival from Borussia Dortmund last January.
In his latest video shared on Instagram, the Gabon international tried to get his French teammate to speak in a London accent:

Usually, when players are fighting to play in the same position in the first team, a rivalry develops between them. Aubameyang would likely prefer to play through the middle rather than out wide, but he seems to be happy with Lacazette taking the lead striker role this season.
It does help that both players are scoring goals at the moment. Aubameyang has scored six goals in all competitions, while his strike partner has scored five for the Gunners this campaign.
