7 hottest strikers set for big money transfers in the summer

#4 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Aubameyang has always openly expressed his desire to play for Real Madrid.

Another French-born player who chose to represent Gabon in international football, Aubameyang has been one of the hottest strikers in world football for a while now. Blessed with lightning pace (the fastest player on FIFA 17), and a wonderful eye for goal, the striker has become a massive fan favourite at Borussia Dortmund, having arrived towards the end of Jurgen Klopp’s tenure at the German club.

The pacy striker has scored 25 and 39 goals respectively in the previous two seasons and currently has 25 goals this season. His goalscoring exploits have seen him become the first Gabon player to win the African Player of the Year in 2015 and he was named Bundesliga Player of the Year 2015-16 ahead of the likes of Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller at Bayern Munich.

Aubameyang has already expressed his desire to take on a new challenge at the end of this season and at 27 years of age, it is the right time for one final big move.

The Gabon striker’s open expression of interest to play for Real Madrid is well-documented for he has always reiterated that it is his grandfather’s dream to see him play for Spanish powerhouse. This summer could finally help him realise his dream as Madrid look to find an upgrade on Karim Benzema, whose time at the club looks to come to an end.

Further, there is interest from Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City as well in case Sergio Aguero leaves the club. Valued at €65 million on transfermarkt.com, the Dortmund hitman is all set to make a big money move in the summer.
