🐎The England international uploaded a collection of photos with the : “1st PL hat-trick! That was for you Auntie Baby.”

And Aubameyang was clearly very happy to see his old Arsenal teammate Nketiah succeeding at the Emirates. 

🐼Aubameyang simply replied with the message: “Eddie, Eddie, Eddie!!!”

𝓀There has been a lot of talk of late as to whether Arsenal do have the required quality in their striking department to mount a title challenge against the likes of Manchester City.

﷽And whilst a home tie against struggling Sheffield United isn’t the best barometer, Nketiah will feel like he’s made a statement.

The striker will of course need to continue his success into the coming games whilst Gabriel Jesus is missing.

🦄And if he does, then Nketiah could be well positioned to keep his place in Gareth Southgate’s England squad.

🍒Wright thought the striker looked incredibly sharpജ and he was a big fan of his positioning in and around the box.

Alan Shearer still has his doubts as to whether Nketiah can be the leading man for Mikel Arteta.

🤡But right now, it seems the 24-year-old will get that chance.

🔥Jesus seems likely to be missing until the November international break and Arsenal do have some vital games beforehand.

✱A trip to West Ham United for the EFL Cup on Wednesday doesn’t come at a particularly good time.

ꦇAnd it’ll be interesting to see just how many changes Arteta chooses to make with a testing trip to Newcastle to follow.

𓄧Nketiah now needs to sustain a run of goal-scoring in this Arsenal side, and if he does, it seems that no one will be happier for him than his old teammate Aubameyang.
