I Am The Coolest Captain In The League – Arsenal Star Striker Aubameyang
Pierre Emerick Aubameyang considers himself to be “the coolest captain in the league, maybe in the world”, with the Arsenal striker saying the opportunity to skipper the Gunners is “the nicest job in football”.
The 32-year-old frontman has filled the armband at Emirates Stadium since 2019, with a leadership role passed his way once Granit Xhaka was stripped of captaincy duties.
Aubameyang has inspired FA Cup and Community Shield triumphs since then and remains a talismanic presence for Mikel Arteta’s side with his stylish exploits on and off the field.
A charismatic Gabon international has told Arsenal’s official website:
“I’m the coolest captain in the league, maybe in the world!
“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.”
