Last summer he offered £80 million for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Always thought Aubameyang was AW’s kind of player because he’s such a phenomenal athlete.
Lord Wenger believes that the all the best athletes come from the West African gene pool that was dispersed round the world by the slave trade.
Hes a 27-year-old powerhouse sprinter who is very good at breakaways, headers, volleys, poacher’s goals, and he can even take free-kicks.
As speed-machines go, Auba is a very prolific goalscorer.
He’s unusually lethal, a bit like like Thierry Henry with bottle.
Auba played a leading role in the Europa Cup QF second leg at Anfield after the first leg finished 1-1 in Dortmund.
That pulsating thriller was the most surprising and memorable match I saw last season.
After five minutes, Aubameyang had a shot parried by Mignolet in five and Henrikh Mkhitaryan followed up to tap in.
Three minutes later, when Marco Reus zoomed down the left flank and crossed to the far post, Auba made a difficult first-time finish look easy : 0-2.
Liverpool got a goal back and then went 3-1 down in the second half but miraculously managed to win with a Lovren header in stoppage time.
WHAT A GAME!
Aubameyang scored 39 goals last season and if he’d scored 20 for Arsenal they’d have walked the league.
This information came from Italian football agent Vincent Morabito. Is he reliable?
If it’s true it shows Arsenal have more ambition than we thought.
