Leading the line for our dream team is Gabon star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, a player who has been Arsenal's main man ever since he arrived in January 2018. He hit the ground running at his new club last year, scoring 10 goals in the second half of the Premier League season, and now, in his first full season with the Gunners, has picked up where he left off.

Aubameyang has scored over 15 league goals for the fifth season running this term and has failed to hit that mark only once in the last 8 seasons (he scored 13 goals in the 2013/14 season), a record stretching back to his time with Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1.

When Aubameyang signed for Borussia Dortmund, he was often shunted on the wing or the bench to accommodate their main man, Robert Lewandowski. However, after the Pole departed for Bayern Munich, Aubameyang became an indispensable part of manager Jurgen Klopp's new-look side.

Ever since making the move to Arsenal, however, Aubameyang has formed a deadly partnership with French striker Alexandre Lacazette, and the pair are presently thriving under Unai Emery. Aubameyang's pace is often the key to unlocking tight defences, and his ice-cool composure in front of goal ensures that he does not pass up many opportunities.

A goal poacher extraordinaire, Aubameyang could well set the Premier League alight in the years to come and could help Arsenal win a first league title in over 15 years.
