Alexandre Lacazette responds to Pierre-Emerick Aubemeyang when the grand plan of Nicolas Pepe takes shape

Nicolas Pepe is about to move to Emirates Stadium and it seems that Arsenal strikers Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are having fun with speculation around the attacker.

Last season, Ivorian scored 22 goals and 11 badists for Lille. He should add a new spark to the front line of Unai Emery alongside the two strikers.

After scoring in the Emirates Cup match against Lyon, Aubameyang seemed to use Pepe's celebration of goals as he reacted to finding the bottom of the nets.

He then followed this gesture by repeating it in an Instagram message, marking it at Lacazette.

"Where are you?" read the caption of the Gabonese attacker, whose connection to French has become a point of reference for the rest of the locker room.

It is expected that both players play a key role in welcoming Pepe into the club and ensuring that he installs quickly in anticipation of the new season.

In response to Aubameyang's message on Instagram, Lacazette quickly sent her own photo showing the celebration and legends of Pepe to the former Borussia Dortmund player.

While the Arsenal training center in London, Colney was identified with his post, the former Lyon striker included in his partner's grip with another message: "Where are you?"

On social media, fans have already begun to suspect that their posts could be part of an elaborate Pepe social media unveiling.

It would not be the first time that Aubameyang and Arsenal have been involved in similar tricks.

In January 2018, in a video announcing that Henrikh Mkhitaryan had joined the Gunners, the Armenian seemed to scream at his former teammate from Dortmund.

The fans quickly spotted the mark and finally proved themselves since Aubameyang joined the club a few days later.

The attacker and his friend and colleague Lacazette could be involved in a similar move around Pepe's signing with the Ivorian at London Colney to undergo a medical examination.
