Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a Gabonese-born French striker who plays for Arsenal. In 2007, he got his big chance when he joined AC Milan’s youth team.
During a Youth Cup tournament, he scored seven goals in six matches while playing for AC Milan. That accomplishment made him a highly valuable player for many scouts.
His first significant club was Dijon, where he spent a season before heading to Lille.
He stayed in Ligue One until 2013, on loan to Monaco and permanently to Saint-Etienne.
However, he was signed by Borussia Dortmund in 2013 and quickly became one of their key players.
Finally, in 2018, he made his Premier League debut as an Arsenal striker.
Achievements
Aubameyang is known for his superb finishing, crossing, and long-shot abilities. He is also recognised for making short passes and playing with the ball at his feet. In addition, he has a talent for severing the insides of the wings.
He assisted Saint-Etienne in winning the French League Cup and Borussia Dortmund in winning the DFB Pokal cup.
Net Worth, salary and endorsements
Nike is one of Aubameyang’s major sponsors. Interestingly, he got in trouble for advertising his Nike sneakers during his Dortmund days. This type of prank would not have meant much under normal conditions. However, in this case, Aubameyang got into trouble as Dortmund was sponsored by Puma, a competitor brand.
Prior to joining Arsenal, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s net worth was estimated to be at £10.5 million. In terms of pay, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang earns £180,000 each week.
