#3 Best: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

The Gabonese striker arrived in January 2018 and has scored goals for fun since setting foot on English shores. In the 2018-19 season, he already has 13 goals. The 13 goals also see him sit pretty at the perch of the Golden Boot race.

Aubameyang looked short of his best at the end of last season and many expected him to improve after a proper pre-season. And boy, hasn’t he improved.

The striker has enjoyed his partnership with Lacazette with the duo complementing each other well. Despite scaling such peaks, Aubameyang still has some aspects to improve upon. Over the course of the season, he has gone through patches where he has been completely anonymous.

Additionally, he has been guilty of missing some clear-cut chances in big games. Though Emery wouldn’t be minding the goals he’s procuring, the Spaniard might just want Aubameyang to realize his enormous potential even more.

The Gunners broke the bank in January expecting a top-notch goal poacher to arrive. And it’s safe to say that their investment has been repaid handsomely.
