During that time, Aubameyang and Lacazette made 106 appearances alongside each other.

They were also part of the Gunners' FA Cup-winning side in 2020, the club's last major trophy.

According to L'Equipe, the duo could line up as team-mates once again next season amid summer transfer interest from Saudi Arabia.

The report claims Aubameyang is seen as the priority target for a new forward by Al-Shabab.

However, they are also understood to be keen on Lacazette as either an alternative or additional signing.

Al-Shabab finished eight in the Saudi Pro League last season, with their squad including Ivan Rakitic and Yannick Carrasco.

Both Aubameyang and Lacazette are coming off the back of strong goalscoring seasons.
