Surely more than one fan of the Arsenal You have to wonder what Mikel Arteta must have had going through his head to push aside and let a player like Pierre Emerick Aubameyang escape. And it is that in the hands of Xavi Hernandezthe Gabonese striker has not only recovered his goalscoring nose but has also become a true ‘killer’.
His numbers right now leave no doubt that the attacker is going to become one of the great signings of the season. It is not normal to score nine goals -seven in LaLiga and two in the Europa League- in eleven games. And even less to be also decisive at the level of assists, where he signed this Sunday an impressive one to Ferran Torres, with a high heel included.
What’s more, Aubameyang ha revitalized has an Ousmane Dembele, who right now is no longer so sure about leaving this summer. And it is that the Frenchman has a great friendship with the Gabonese since the time they met at Dortmund and this ‘feeling’ is noticeable on the field: Dembélé has already served several worthwhile assists to Aubameyang. And as a button shows: his measured center, after leaving Nacho’s speed, is simply masterful.
Aubameyangwho has one more year on his contract, he is happy in Barcelona and you can tell every minute he’s in the club. In addition, the Gabonese has landed on his feet, as evidenced by his good vibes with Alves and with the heavyweights of the locker room.
And, to make matters worse, he is not only spectacular in his goals, but also in the way he celebrates them, with a deadly forward and without hands, improving, and by a lot, Hugo Sanchez.
Aubameyang he already has a ball signed by all the players since he scored a hat trick against Valencia (1-4), although in all honesty the third is more than debatable, since he slightly deflected a strong shot from Pedri. It’s the first, but it sure won’t be the last.
