Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang believes the future is bright for Arsenal heading into next season.
Arsene Wenger ended his 22-year reign in charge of the Gunners with a 1-0 win over Huddersfield on Sunday, with Aubameyang scoring the winner.
The focus now shifts to appointing Wenger's successor and Arsenal's £56m record signing believes the new manager will have plenty of talent at his disposal.
When asked if he was excited about next season, the Gabon international forward said: "Yes, of course.

"In the last few weeks, we have played well. We have a lot of young players and for sure it's good for the (new) manager.
"It looks good for the future and I'm sure next season is going to be a good one for us."
The former Borussia Dortmund scored his tenth Premier League goal in just his 12th appearance, which is quicker than any other Arsenal player, and he was happy to be able to send Wenger out on a high.
"It was important for us because it was the last game for the boss," he said. "It was important we won this game for him.

"We gave him a big round of applause. We had talked a lot already and we wrote on a book for him.
"It was special I scored the goal and I'm very happy. It's also our first three points (on the road) this year."
Aubameyang was brought to the club by Wenger but spent less than four months working under the 68-year-old.
"This is the life," he said, when asked if he was surprised by Wenger's departure. "This is football and sometimes you never know. I was happy to play for him.
"I learned a lot. It was not a lot of time to work with him, but I learned a lot and I'm happy to be here."

Wild 2-2 draw enough for Swiss to advance

Source:  https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/world-cup/news/switzerland-vs-costa-rica-final-score-recap-wild-2-2-draw-enough-for-swiss-to-advance/ For 90 minutes, Switzerland and Costa Rica exchanged scoring opportunities, frisky attacks, and countless missed chances at Nizhny Novgorod Stadium in an entertaining back-and-forth match that came down to an 88th minute go-ahead goal, an overturned penalty kick decision, and a stoppage time, game-tying penalty-kick goal that only counted because the ball deflected off the crossbar and Switzerland goalkeeper Yann Sommer's head before rolling into the net. Due to what unfolded at Spartak Stadium between Serbia and Brazil, what happened between Switzerland and Costa Rica didn't ended up mattering much. On Wednesday, Switzerland and Costa Rica battled to a thrilling 2-2 draw that involved two goals in the final minutes. The result was enough for Switzerland to gain entrance into the knockout stages of the World Cup. Even if Switze...

MAN UNITED WILL TRY AND SIGN NEYMAR. OF COURSE THEY WILL

Source:  https://www.football365.com/news/gossip-manchester-united-to-break-world-transfer-record Now you can’t say that the Sunday Mirror’s John Richardson is afraid of making some bold transfer claims. The first report from yer man made us spit out our Coco Pops. Richardson writes that Manchester United are lining up a £200m-plus move for Neymar this summer. That’s despite PSG saying that the Brazilian is going nowhere, and just about everyone thinking that if he does move it will be to Real Madrid. We’re also told that Manchester United would be happy to pay Neymar the £30m a year that he currently gets in Paris. Well, they’d have to. The evidence for the move is that United have a good relationship with Neymar’s father, who supports Manchester United. Wonderfully, Richardson ends his piece with the following line: ‘Any deal to take Neymar to the Bernabeu would cost in excess of the near £200million fee paid by PSG to lure him to the French capital last summer.’ ...

Lucky Japan qualify for knockout stages through Fifa's fair play rules despite losing 1-0 to Poland

Source:  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-cup/2018/06/28/japan-vs-poland-world-cup-2018-live-score-latest-updates/ Fair play sent Japan through to the next round Akira Nishino is a lucky man indeed. Unconvincing, barmy and lucky. Maybe the stifling heat in Volgograd had got to the Japan coach? How else to explain his thought process? Nishino rolled the dice not once, but twice here in a fog of muddled thinking and, in the end, was only spared total humiliation back home courtesy of the fair play rule. No one, least of all his players, could quite fathom his decision to make a raft of bewildering changes with everything still to play for against Poland. And no less bemusing was his insistence that Japan run down the clock for the final 10 minutes of the match amid a cacophony of boos inside the Volgograd Arena, despite the knowledge that a second Poland goal or a Senegal equaliser against Colombia would have sent his team crashing out. “It was a very tough de...
