Arsenal news: Martin Keown says Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is closest club have had to Thierry Henry
Martin Keown has likened Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Arsenals all-time top scorer Thierry Henry.Aubameyang missed a host of gilt-edged chances in Arsenals goalless Europa League draw with Sporting Lisbon after replacing Danny Welbeck, who suffered a serious-looking ankle injury in the first-half.2

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in action against Sporting Lisbon

Since joining the Gunners in January, the 29-year-old has netted 19 times in all competitions, but having watched him against Sporting, Keown believes Aubameyang needs to do more to reach the impact Henry had on the north London club.He is the closest thing to Thierry Henry that I have seen since he left the club, he really is that good, Keown, who played alongside Henry, said.Someone in his camp should be pushing him on, dragging that performance out of him because he is a special talent.He scores lots of goals and its just a hunger and getting him to that boiling point. I dont think he was there tonight.Aubameyang has featured on the wing in most of his games this season to accommodate Alexandre Lacazette’s red-hot form.The Gabon international played through the middle against Sporting Lisbon and failed to find the net with four attempts.Despite Arsenals first blank in front of goal since the opening day of the season, they remain top of their Europa League group.2

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette have formed a good partnership

Aubameyang really let them down a bit in front of goal, if only he had taken his chances. Hes a player who I rate really very highly, added Keown on BT Sport.He was taken off against Liverpool and he didnt seem happy with that.With the [Welbeck] injury, it caught him out more than anyone else, he wasnt ready mentally and I think on another night he would have put these chances away.[Henrikh]Mkhitaryan is a player who really looks out for him, they seem to have a telepathic link-up.He just knows these balls are coming, when you see it from another angle it should be a goal. It didnt quite come off for him.
