Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang became Arsenal’s most expensive signing in 2018 as his transfer fee was €63.75m.
The Gabonese international was able to maintain his prolific goal-scoring record in London, as he did at Borussia Dortmund.
In Germany, he scored 0.77 goals per 90 minutes; being a Gunner, this figure dropped slightly, but it is still very high 0.70.
However, despite all of his 61 goals, Arsenal have yet to win a trophy.
Unai Emery was sacked in December.
Arsenal had their former player, also an academy product from Barcelona, Mikel Arteta, become the new manager of the team.
Under Arteta, Aubameyang had a very different role.
The Premier League golden boot of the last campaign was no longer the centre-forward of the team, but the Gabonese still managed to keep his standard in his new role.
So far, he has already scored seven in 10 games as a left-winger.
In this tactical analysis and scout report, we will show you the traits and role of Aubameyang.
It is an analysis that focuses on how Arteta’s tactics maximised the players strengths.
