Aubameyang is one of the fastest players in the world and a lethal striker. He reached the top speed of 34.99 km/h while at Arsenal this past season.

After an ill-fated spell with AC Milan, the Gabonese international finally showed his true potential at St.Etienne, winning the Ligue 1 African player of the year award for his performances that season.

He developed his game under the guidance of Juergen Klopp and finished at the top of the Bundesliga goalscoring charts in 2016 ahead of Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski.

Aubameyang has already shown his fitness is top notch during Arsenal’s pre-season tour of Singapore, he managed a distance of 7m/97cm (which is a club record) in the one-legged triple jump test.
