Arsenal striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, has revealed that fellow teammates, Kieran Tierney and Nuno Tavares, are both faster than him.
According to Aubameyang, both Tierney and Tavares possess more pace than he does over short distances.
The Gabon international stated this ahead of Arsenal’s Premier League clash with Watford this weekend.
The 32-year-old was reportedly the third fastest player in Europe last season after he reached a top speed of 35.5 km/h.
“I think no [not the fastest in the Arsenal team], I think we have got some players that are really quick. We have never done a real race, because if we do that, I have my chances,” Aubameyang told Yianni.
“At 80-100 metres, I am sure I am one of the best, but in 30 metres, yea we have got some quick players, like Kieran Tierney and Nuno Tavares, they are really quick in their first steps.
“When I was 18-19 years old, I would kill them, 100 per cent.”
