Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang came with a bit of reputation when he joined from Borussia Dortmund last January.
However, everything so far suggests he has been a very good influence on the team spirit in the Gunners’ dressing room. The latest video the Gabon international shared on Instagram shows the striker, along with Shkodran Mustafi, mocking Alex Iwobi’s attempts at rapping.
Fans on Twitter were loving the camaraderie between teammates:
???????????? Auba killed me with that laughter.

I don’t understand all the negativity that sourounded Auba before he joined arsenal. People were saying he’s a negative influence in the dressing room. All I’ve seen is him laughing and joking with everyone, seems like a positive influence to me

Others didn’t see the funny side:
Arsenal’s locker room turning into a boy band just like Man U’s

Mustafi enjoys himself too much at Arsenal and produces sub standard performances

Mustafi is too playful

Aubameyang has certainly integrated into the group very quickly since his arrival. His friendship with Alexandre Lacazette has already paid dividends on the pitch.
While he may have started the season with a mini goalscoring drought, fans will be hoping his goal against Cardiff last time out will help him kickstart his season.
The 29-year-old really hit the ground running at the back end of last campaign with 10 goals in 14 games, and supporters will be expecting more of the same during his first full season with the Gunners.
