#3 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund to Arsenal)

Gunning for goals. Aubameyang is among the top 3 in the Premier League Golden Boot race.

One of Borussia Dortmund's biggest exports. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang joined the Gunners for a sum of €63.75 million.

Aubameyang got off to a quick start and bagged 10 goals in 13 appearances. He also got 4 assists to go with it. But Arsenal's season was not going very well when Aubameyang came in and thus they couldn't salvage a Champions League spot.

Now that we are in the new season Aubameyang has made several adjustments to the game. In comparison to his last season, he has won almost double aerial duels per game. His passing accuracy (0.6 to 1.2) has also increased to 75% from 69%.

Also, it is worth noting that he has lowered the average number of passes per game. In turn, he is making himself well-positioned to receive passes and cutbacks into the box.

He has no defensive contributions as such but he more than makes it up with his offensive game. Aubameyang has bagged 14 goals this season with three assists.

He is only behind Salah. He is in the running for Golden Boot this season and he has impressed under both Wenger and Emery.

Rating: 8.5/10

Verdict: Aubameyang has been directly involved in 35% of the goals scored by Arsenal in the Premier League. He has been as good as he was last season and has cemented his spot in the starting 11.
