Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang says he's excited to play with Nicolas Pepe.

The club's record signing sat on the bench for Sunday's 1-0 victory over Newcastle United, in which Aubameyang scored the winning goal.

"I'm looking forward to [playing alongside Pepe], because he's a really great player," Aubameyang told Arsenal's official website.

"He's already shown in training that he's capable of doing great things with us. Hopefully he will start soon."

On the victory itself, the Gabon international added: "Yeah, I think [the win was deserved]. I think we fought a lot today. It was a great game against a good team in Newcastle. It was important today to start with a win. Last season we started badly and this season we won, so we are happy.

"It's always positive for the squad [to win the first game of the season]. Everybody is now happy to have those three points. We're looking forward to playing at home and winning games."
