Arsenal's players are already officially knee deep in pre-season training as the squad prepare for their first obstacles on the road in the new 2019/20 Premier League season.

The majority of the players are back on the grind and among the returning superstars was Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the Gunners' prolific goal scorer.

The pacey forward from Gabon posted his first snaps on Instagram after returning to the proverbial office and, of course, it attracted some attention from fellow stars.

Aubameyang also captioned it with "practice" and posted a series of hashtags after it, emphasising his great first touch of the ball.

Real Betis' Marc Bartra responded in awe of the snap, suggesting that the former Borussia Dortmund man showcases great quality.

 

And the Spanish defender was not the only to express their admiration for Aubameyang, as others were also impressed by what they saw.

Aubameyang had a fantastic season with Arsenal last time out, scoring 31 goals and assisting eight in all competitions.

If Unai Emery is to enjoy any success in the forthcoming season, it's more than likely that the £60m man will play a key role.
