Saka, still just 18, has enjoyed a breakout season at the Emirates scoring four goals and contributing 11 assists in all competitions.
Arsenal's captain giving Saka the label of "Little Chilli" in a nod to the youngster's high-energy displays.
"I call him this [Little Chilli] but in French so it is 'Petit Piment'," Aubameyang told Sky Sports. "It’s because he is like a little chilli, so much energy, so much power and is quite small so it’s funny."
Despite the funny nickname, Aubameyang is very serious about just how good Saka can become in the years to come, noting that he's got the ideal mentality to be a success.
"Oh for sure, he is one of the best, for sure. What I like about him is he is always listening to advice from us the experienced players," Aubameyang said.
"I really like it and he is really humble, he always wants to go forwards and learn more and try to improve his game so definitely he is one of the best.
"Of course, I think he’s 18 so he has a lot of time, but as I said to him the most important thing is to enjoy, because at this age to be at this club is really special and he just has to continue like this, to keep improving and I am sure he will go straight to the top."
