Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been named as the club’s player of the month for October.
The Gunners announced that 55% of fans nominated the Gabon international for his performances.
Supporters were lining up to praise Aubameyang after a superb few weeks for the Gabon international:

He should play 90 minutes, he needs to stop being substituted as hes a top player

With so many stars in the team these days the monthly polls are going to be really really tough for fans.

Could have easily gone to Xhaka.

The disrespect to Lacazette is unbelievable.
Arsenal's best forward ffs— Vivek Sinha (@vivek_sinha2000) 6 November 2018
Aubameyang has certainly picked up his form after a slow start to the season. The 29-year-old scored five goals and contributed one assist in three Premier League games last month.
Despite playing out wide, and having been substituted regularly by manager Unai Emery, the Gabonese forward has risen to the challenge.
The £56million January signing from Borussia Dortmund has taken to the Premier League with ease. With nine goals in all competitions already to his name this campaign for the Gunners, he is well on course to beat last season’s top goalscorer Alexandre Lacazette, who scored 17.
