Ivory Coast international Pepe joined in a club-record £72m deal in the summer, but has yet to make a start in the Premier League. This, however, hasn't stopped Aubameyang from admitting how excited he is for the trio to play together.
He told Sky Sports:
The frontman later went on to discuss the similarities between the Gunners' front three and Liverpool's phenomenal trio of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane - and claims he and his teammates can emulate their success.
"I see a lot of similarities... Pepe and me, we are quick players like Mane and Salah, while Laca is a player who can keep the ball and is really good with his feet like Firmino. So yes, we can say we are close enough."
Arsenal travel to Anfield on Saturday, with manager Unai Emery having already hinted that Pepe may start - meaning we could get to see the trio in action together for the first time.
