The Gabon international may be heading to China if rumours are to be believed, but it could potentially be a big mistake. Aubameyang has shown a clear improvement in the last three seasons, increasing his conversion rate from 14% to 19.47% and the 25.66% – that’s a jump of 5% every season, and if the Gabonese striker continues the trend, he could easily be the best striker in the world.

There’s already a case to be made for the Dortmund frontman – he’s scored 65 goals from 326 shots, to have a conversion rate of 19.94% over the last three seasons. Aubameyang tends to average atleast a 100 shots on goal every season – which probably speaks to how tailored Dortmund’s midfield is towards him.
