Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gives names of two Arsenal players who are faster than him

Nuno Tavares and Kieran Tierney are faster than Aubameyang.

Club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang believes he has the upper hand over longer distances but both Nuno and Tierney will beat him at shorter distances.

The Gunners are currently on an eight-match unbeaten run in all competitions.

Aubameyang was the third-fastest player in Europe last year clocking a top speed of 35.5 km/h.

However, he feels Tierney and Nuno will best him at shorter distances even though he claims he has the edge over long distances.

‘I think no [not the fastest in the Arsenal team], I think we’ve got some players that are really quick. We have never done a real race, because if we do that I have my chances,’ Aubameyang told Yianni.

‘At 80-100 metres I’m sure I’m one of the best, but in 30 metres, yea we’ve got some quick players, like Kieran Tierney and Nuno Tavares, they are really quick in their first steps.

‘When I was 18-19 years old I’d kill them, 100 percent.’
