5 reasons why Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a bad investment for Arsenal

#4 No defensive output

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a largely attacking player, and rarely puts in a defensive shift

One of Aubameyang's main weaknesses is his lack of defensive output.

Sure, for someone with his talents and pace, one doesn't expect too much defensive work. However, Aubemeyang is very likely to struggle in the Premier League due to his lack of defensive work rate, especially when coming against the likes of Manchester City, who love to keep their opponents on the run.

Aubameyang hardly needs to put up defensive effort largely thanks to Borussia Dortmund's possession-based game and even though Arsenal are also a team who likes to keep possession, the Gabonese will be an integral part of their first line of pressing - something he's expected to struggle at.
