Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang shows Arsenal allegiance when asked to pick between Tottenham and Real Madrid

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang reminded Arsenal fans of his allegiance to the red side of north London by snubbing Tottenham in a viral social media clip.

ESPN FC filmed the Barcelona striker selecting between a variety of tricky choices on the club’s tour of North America and his response to the question of Spurs or Real Madrid was particularly enjoyable for Gooners.

Despite his current club’s huge rivarly with Madrid, Aubameyang nonetheless states his preference for Real over Tottenham.

The Gabon striker, 33, could only help but laugh and shrug his shoulders after choosing Los Blancos, amid long-running reports that his grandfather supported the reigning LaLiga champions.

Another choice also saw Karim Benzema picked over Harry Kane by Aubameyang.

The player’s Arsenal allegiance shone through in a tough choice between Thierry Henry and Kylian Mbappe, which saw him pick the retired Gunners legend, and opting for Arsene Wenger over Jose Mourinho.

Elsewhere, Aubameyang declined to comment when recently asked by Spanish TV station Jugones over his future.

“I have nothing to say,” he stated despite talk of a move to Chelsea.
