Pierre-Emerick Emiliano François Aubameyang is a professional footballer who plays as a forward and is the captain of both Premier League club Arsenal and the Gabon national team.
He is considered to be one of the best strikers in the world, known for his pace, finishing, and off-ball movement.
Aubameyang has finally ended all speculations linking him away from Arsenal after he signed a deal which will see him play for the club until 2023. Aubameyang did not only sign a juicy deal but he also happens to be the second most paid player after Mesut Ozil.
Aubameyang has finally revealed why he had to turn down an offer from Barcelona just to be with Arsenal. This is what he had to say;
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: “I was thinking about it [leaving] to tell you the truth because I had good opportunities as well, but this feeling to be here – the love from the fans & all the club – I’m not sure that by leaving I will receive the same love, that’s why I’m staying.” pic.twitter.com/ikxBUBhIeY
