'He is willing to stay with us ': Mikel Arteta hopeful Arsenal can agree a new contract with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after his double strike in the emphatic victory over Norwich

Mikel Arteta is hopeful captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang can score another 100 goals for Arsenal after he reached his Premier League half-century in a fine win over struggling Norwich.

The Gunners ran out comfortable winners as Aubameyang was gifted two goals as well as laying on Granit Xhaka's first of the season before Cedric Soares marked his debut with the last in a 4-0 romp.

Aubameyang's first, coming after he was gifted possession by Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul, saw him reach 50 Premier League goals in 79 appearances - making him the fastest Arsenal player to make it to the landmark.
