The Gunners completed the club-record signing of Aubameyang on Deadline Day, reuniting him with former Borussia Dortmund team-mate Mkhitaryan following his move to the Emirates from Manchester United nine days earlier.
And Aubameyang has admitted several phone conversations with Mkhitaryan convinced him to make the move to north London.
“He called me a few times and asked, ‘Will you come or not?’” he is quoted by the Daily Mail. “I said, ‘First you have to tell me if you signed or not’.
“He told me it was all done — and of course it was a big factor in me coming here.
“It’s like being reunited with a brother, a good friend. We played together in the past and I’m really happy to see him again.”
