Pierre Emerick Aubameyang has been crucial for Arsenal this season. He was signed by Arsene Wenger in the last winter. He has been important to Arsenal since then. He has got Alexandre Lacazette life hard at Arsenal. He has got the call ahead of the Frenchmen. Pierre Emerick Aubameyang was signed from Borussia Dortmund after he showing his displeasure to play for the German side. He was signed by Arsene Wenger for his pace and versatility to play on the wings. He wanted to play him on the wings and play Lacazette centre-forward. He scored 10 goals in 13 matches under Arsene Wenger. Those are impressive stats.
Arsenal did undergo a switch in the manager. Aubameyang didn’t stop threatening the goal under the new manager. He has scored 21 goals in 14 matches. He is selected ahead of Lacazette even under new management. He could have had a lot more, had he not missed so many sitters. He missed a lot of chances. He managed to get his second player after being the player of the month once in October . He was the player of the month again in December scoring 5 goals and 2 assists. He tweeted “ thank apart from a shit game against Liverpool, it was a good month. He was given 43 per cent of the votes. He was also nominated for African player of the year.
Arsenal looks to focus on Europa League to have they look to have their berth in the Champions League. After losing Danny Welbeck through injury. Aubameyang being in good form and staying injury free to hope that they have a good run in the competition. They comfortably did get through group stage but they still have a long run left in the tournament. He has been a key factor in the Arsenal attack.
He has contributed to almost all the goals scored by the Gunners. He not only contributes with his goals but also assist goals and also his work-rate is impressive. Had he had is finishing touch better Arsenal would be in a better position in the Premier League table. Arsenal will feel finally they have found that striker who can notch in 20-30 goals in a season. Alexis Sanchez did do it for them but apart from they missed that firing power.
Giroud did get a couple of goals but couldn’t get enough number of goals. Arsenal really required that firepower who could replace Robin Van Persie only Sanchez was close to being that one, now Aubameyang is looking like he could fill the shoes of the top star. Arsenal in front part would be set and they can start looking into the defence side of it.
They have had a poor defensive record for a lot of years now and will have to look into strengthening it with two or three new faces. If the back-line can be fortified, it would ensure that the team is more competitive and capable enough to win more trophies in the upcoming seasons. However, with the kind of owners that the Gunners have, it will not be easy.
