One of the most sought-after strikers around, Aubameyang has been on absolute fire this season, racking up a record 31 goals in 32 games.

His 2016-17 output was the highest since Gerd Müller’s 40 total in 1972, which easily clinched the Bundesliga top scorer spot.

With Arsenal’s season struggles, the Gabonese speedster would no doubt bolster the Gunners front line with a crushing combination of speed and skill.

Widely seen as a Top 10 player in the world—the Guardian ranked him 8th in their unofficial but highly sophisticated Top 100 list—Aubameyang’s a versatile attacker who can man both the striker and winger positions.

Ironically, the 27-year-old was an Arsenal target last summer but saw their £80 million bid rejected. 

The way their budgets are going now, the Gunners are probably going to get outgunned on this one. (PSG looks to be in the lead at the moment.)

For whatever it’s worth, Aubameyang signed a five-year extension with Dortmund back in 2015, saying, “Every part of me wants to be here and I have never wanted to leave.”

That said, could they somehow land the Aubameyang , their front side is set for the next five years.
