The Gabonese striker is his club’s top scorer this season, with 23 goals in all competitions, and netted the winner as a lone forward during the Gunners’ 1-0 win over Watford on Monday.
He has formed a fine partnership with Alexandre Lacazette and has conceded that he likes to have another striker to link up with.
“Everybody knows that I like to play with Laca because we have a great partnership,” he told Sky Sports.
“Sometimes one plays, the other is on the bench. It’s like that. You have to fight for the team.
“I think you know that I like to play with two strikers but I don’t want to say it because the coach will be maybe a bit angry.”
Aubameyang is currently preparing for Arsenal’s Europa League quarter-final second leg clash against Napoli.
