Ahead of Arsenal’s latest match in the Premier League, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has a chance to close further in on Robin van Persie’s record.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is close to becoming Arsenal’s record Premier League goalscorer at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gabonese striker scored his 42nd goal at the club’s home ground in the 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace on Monday. Therefore, he is only four goals shy of Van Persie’s record as stated by the Premier League.

The former Dutch striker scored 46 Premier League goals at the Emirates during his Gunners career before joining Manchester United in the summer of 2012.
Aubameyang will hope to close on Van Persie’s record, starting with Friday’s clash with Aston Villa at the Emirates. He endured a tough time in front of goal last term. However, things have improved a little in 2021/22. He has enjoyed more success as a lone forward rather than as a winger, having scored six goals across all competitions this season.
