Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is now one of the most sought after players in European football, and is already a summer target for Manchester United.

The Gabonese forward – currently at Borussia Dortmund – plays mainly as a striker, but can fit in anywhere across the front three.

Aubameyang is an impressive dribbler who can beat his man one-on-one; he is also one of the fastest players in the game, possessing insane pace and agility. Movement off the ball is one of his hugest assets, however, he is as quick with the ball at his feet as he is without it.

He is currently having a stellar season in Germany, having scored 29 goals in 33 appearances for Dortmund. It’s highly unlikely that he will remain there, though. A bigger club is sure to swoop for him in the summer.
