Why Aubameyang would be the perfect fit for Arsenal

Aubameyang celebrating a goal

The former African player of the year doesn't only have the achievements to back up his claim to be world class, his goal to minute ratio in Bundesliga is second only to the legendary Gerd Muller.

Aubameyang is only the second African player to win the Bundesliga golden boot after Anthony Yeboah, who did so twice in the the early 90s. He has also received Dortmund's and the Bundesliga's best player awards.

His prized attributes include his pace, his finishing ability, his threat on counterattacks and also his heading ability. Arsenal, especially if Sanchez leaves, lack raw pace upfront and as players like Salah, Hazard and Sane show, it can be a potent weapon in the Premier League.

With players like Özil and Xhaka, who have a great passing range, counterattacks can create big chances with Aubameyang upfront, something which Lacazette has failed to capitalize on.
