What will Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang bring to Barça?
The Gabon international striker is quick, a great goalscorer and versatile in attack
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s arrival gives Xavi’s Barcelona more firepower. He’s fast, he can score and can play on the left as well as in the centre.
He comes from Arsenal, who he joined in 2017. In England he stood out for exploiting spaces, something he also showed at Dortmund under Klopp, a lover of direct football.
He works well with his teammates to starts moves, he doesn’t live in the box, he can move around the pitch well. We’ll see how well he adapts to Barcelona, who don’t usually get given that much space by opponents.
At Arsenal he improved and learned positional play and Xavi will like that; he doesn’t need the ball to generate danger.
He’s a player capable of undoing defences with his speed. He’s OK in the air and at first time shooting.
He’s a modern forward, who moves between the defenders. He’s highly mobile and that’s what Xavi wants from his players.,
He scored 92 goals at Arsenal and gave 21 assists in 163 games. This season he has four Premier League goals and one assist in 14 games.
