10 players top Premier League clubs can sign to catch up with Manchester City

#7 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Aubameyang is a natural finisher and has established himself as one of the best strikers in world

Renowned for his exuberant lifestyle and energetic play style, Aubameyang is currently one of the top strikers in the world. After scoring 142 goals in 212 games for Dortmund, the Gabon international is looking for a new club and his relationship with the club is at an all-time low after missing a team meeting before a 0-0 draw against Wolfsburg.

Aubameyang is as fast as a bullet, can finish from even the acutest of angles and relishes big opportunities. He is the kind of genuinely world-class forward missing in the big six except for City and Spurs, although Spurs do need a second forward to take some load off Harry Kane.

United, Chelsea and Arsenal have all spent big this season on strikers but so far, their signings have yet to justify their transfer fee. The first year of settling into a new environment can be a factor and all of Lukaku, Morata and Lacazette have done a decent job but given City's potent attack, all of the big five seriously need to upgrade their attack.

After selling Coutinho, Liverpool have a big hole in their attack and they have lacked a forward since Luis Suarez.

Dortmund will consider selling Aubameyang and he won't come for cheap. But the value of Aubameyang should not be a concern for the big five if they genuinely want to challenge Manchester City, PSG, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

The following clubs should look to sign the player

All five of them

Manchester City have the best attack in the league for a reason and that is the fact that they have consistent goal scorers. Initially, Arsenal looked to be extremely close to signing the forward but the German club has hit out at their English counter-part claiming there has been no contact with the club.

This leaves all of the big five in the same boat if they want to sign a goal-scoring machine in Aubameyang. The big five should not mull over whether or not to spend big money on Aubameyang. The Gabon international scores goals consistently and will be a worthwhile addition to any club that he joins.
