Although number three on this list, there is no one else on here who has been as consistent, for as long, as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The captain of the Gabon National Team, Aubameyang proved his mettle in Borussia Dortmund for years before making a move to the English Premier League, wherein he has been the best player for Arsenal.

A former African Player of the Year, Aubameyang is one of the most lethal strikers in the world, having won the Golden Boot in both Bundesliga, and the Premier League. Since his arrival in the Premier League, no one has scored more goals than the former Dortmund player. This season, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he has been single-handedly carrying Arsenal's season so far.

Even though he just crossed 30 in June, Aubameyang shows no signs of slowing down, and will remain a constant threat to defenders everywhere for the foreseeable future.
