Rio Ferdinand explains why he ‘loves’ Arsenal star

Arsenal have begun making a slow recovery from their poor start to the season in recent games, with the Gunners having sealed back-to-back 1-0 victories over Norwich City and Burnley after having lost their opening three fixtures in the English top flight.

Speaking on his FIVE YouTube channel, Ferdinand said: “I love Aubameyang, I love him. Former Manchester United defender Ferdinand has now talked up the importance of Aubameyang being in good form for the Gunners if they want to achieve their targets this season.

“I just think he’s a wicked finisher, but I don’t know if the club are playing to his strengths.

“They need to get the ball forward quicker. They get the ball forward quick and set him off and set him running free, and in full flow, he’s as good as most. He’s just an unbelievable finisher."
