Arsenal fans think Aubameyang, Luiz and Lacazette trolled Spurs star Eric Dier during kit launch

Arsenal supporters have taken to social media following the club's official kit launch on Thursday.

The Gunners officially launched their new home shirt for the 2020/21 season, with several stars featuring in their promotional pictures and videos at the Emirates.

Among them were Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and David Luiz, who posed for pictures in the new strip in the upper tier of the stadium.

On Friday, Arsenal posted a clip on their Twitter account, which featured some behind the scenes footage of the shoot.

Mikel Arteta on whether Mesut Ozil should be in the squad

In one scene, the Gunners trio can be seen climbing the Emirates seats in a fashion which some supporters believe was to mock Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier.

Dier was charged with misconduct after the confrontation with a Spurs supporter following his side's FA Cup exit to Norwich on penalties in March.

The England midfielder vaulted the hoardings to enter the stands and was seen climbing over several rows before having a heated exchange with a fan.

And one Arsenal supporter posted a tweet to jokingly suggest that Aubameyang, Luiz and Lacazette were imitating the Spurs star.

The Gunners take on Watford in their final Premier League game of the season on Sunday, and boss Mikel Arteta has challenged his players to show that they deserve a place in his team for the FA Cup final.

"Absolutely," he said during his pre-match press conference.

"We will try to do that in training every day but I want to see the players that are in best condition and best mindset to affect the game in the final day against Chelsea.

"I'm going to assess the squad - how they're feeling, how they've recovered - and ideally I want to play as strong a team as I can.

"As well we have to respect that there are a few teams in the relegation battle and we are responsible for that.

"That's the way we will prepare the game, that's for sure.

"We need to know the responsibility we have towards the other clubs as well and the responsibility we have just wearing that shirt in any game.

"It has to be to win the football game and prepare.

"Mentally if you are not ready or your level of implication is not 100% then you have a problem."
