5 current superstars who could have played for France

#1 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Gabon)

Aubameyang could have played for France, Spain, Italy or Gabon

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was eligible to play for France, Spain, Italy and Gabon but he chose to represent Gabon because his father once captained the national team.

Aubameyang was born in Laval, France when his father was playing for Stade Lavallois and this made him eligible to play for France. He was eligible to play for Spain because his mother is Spanish, he was eligible to play for Gabon through his father and he was eligible to play for Italy because he spent his youth career in Italy playing for Milan.

He was invited to play for the Italy U19 team in 2009 but he instead, made his debut for France at the U21 level and that was his only appearance for France at any level. The same year, he made his debut for Gabon at the senior level.

The Arsenal forward has represented Gabon in 57 games and scored 24 goals. He also played for Gabon at the 2012 Summer Olympics and scored their only goal of the tournament before being eliminated in the group stage.
