#4 Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang

One of the most in-form strikers in the world at the moment, Pierre-Emerick Aubmaeyang is another player who has long been linked with a move to Real Madrid. With the player himself speaking of his interest in playing for Los Blancos, this move could definitely happen in the future.

In an earlier interview with German TV station ZDF, the Gabon international had said:

“Only Real Madrid would be able to get me out of Borussia Dortmund,

“My childhood dream was to play for Real Madrid. Before he (his grandfather) died two years ago I promised him that one day I would play for Real Madrid,”

Winner of the Bundesliga Golden Boot ahead of Lewandowski last season, the 28-year-old has proven that he is one of the best goalscorers in world football at the moment. Blessed with electric pace and quick skill, Aubameyang can definitely add freshness and quality up top for Zidane's well-drilled side.
