Arsenal fans will be delighted to learn that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is raring to go ahead of the new season.
So much so that the Gabon international broke a club record in his very first training session of the new season, which will no doubt impress his new boss Unai Emery.
Aubameyang has been very active on social media throughout the summer, and, due to not being in the World Cup, was seen enjoying the sun in Dubai while on holiday in June.
He has also been ensuring he remains in tip-top shape, and has posted various videos of himself training with his brother to Instagram.

Presumably the first training session back would be a light one for the players.
It would be more of an opportunity to meet the new boss and coaching staff, and have a discussion about the direction the club is going to be heading in this season.

But it seems Aubameyang took the session as an opportunity to impress his new manager, as an exclusive behind the scenes video of the striker proved.
In the clip, which Arsenal uploaded to YouTube, the Gabon forward is seen completing a one-legged triple jump test.

He manages a distance of 7m 97cm, which according to one of the Arsenal backroom staff is a brand new record.
It seems the future is looking bright for the Gunners.
