Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang used to be a household name in the German Bundesliga. He was a goal-scoring machine for his club Borussia Dortmund, where he won the league's top scorer award in 2016-17 with a 31-goal haul.

The Gabonese sharp-shooter now plays in the Premier League thanks to the club record signing deal worth £56 million by Arsenal in the year 2018. Since then, he has played 36 games for the club and has already scored 24 goals, making him the main man at the front.

Aubameyang is an out-and-out striker who has got the poacher's instinct inside the box and a very strong finishing style. He likes to cut inside and score some breathtaking shots from long range. He prefers to hang off the shoulder of the last defender and make darting runs in behind the opposition backline.

Aubameyang is already in the race for the Golden Boot, in just his second season with the club. With 15 goals in the 25 games so far, he is just behind Mohamed Salah and Sergio Aguero in the list of top goal scorers.

Aubameyang has definitely made his mark in the Premier League, and is easily one of the top players of the season.
