Pierre-Emerick Emiliano François Aubameyang ONM (born 18 June 1989) is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Chelsea. He is renowned for his pace, finishing, and off-ball movement.[5] Born in France, he is a former Gabonese international and is the country’s all-time top goalscorer.

The son of Pierre Aubameyang, Pierre-Emerick began his senior club career playing for Italian club AC Milan, but never appeared for the club as he went on a series of loan spells in France. He moved to Saint-Étienne in 2011. There, he won a Coupe de la Ligue title and joined Borussia Dortmund in 2013. In Germany, Aubameyang finished as the league’s top goalscorer in the 2016–17 season and won a DFB-Pokal. He also ranks as the club’s seventh highest all-time goalscorer.[6] In 2018, Aubameyang was the subject of a then-club record association football transfer when signed for Arsenal in a transfer worth £56 million (€60 million), making him the most expensive Gabonese player of all time.[7] With Arsenal, he won an FA Cup and finished as the league’s joint-top goalscorer in the 2018–19 season.[8] In 2022, Aubameyang joined Barcelona after his Arsenal contract was cancelled by mutual consent. However, he returned to the Premier League after he signed for Chelsea at the end of the summer transfer window.

Aubameyang is Gabon’s all-time top goalscorer. He made his senior debut for Gabon in 2009 aged 19, and appeared in four Africa Cup of Nations tournaments and the 2012 Summer Olympics. In 2016, Aubameyang was named African Footballer of the Year; the first Gabonese and second European-born player to win the award.[9]

Club career[edit]

AC Milan[edit]

«My role model? Ronaldo, but the Brazilian, not the Portuguese one, I think [he] has revolutionised football with his way of playing. He was dynamic, technically strong and fast. He was an enormous player.»

—Aubameyang on the influence of his idol, Brazilian striker Ronaldo, on his own career.[10]

Aubameyang joined AC Milan’s youth academy in January 2007. In August, he was part of the squad that finished fourth in the inaugural Champions Youth Cup held in Malaysia, where he made a name for himself and attracted the attention of scouts internationally. He scored against every opponent Milan played, finishing with seven goals in six matches.[11]

2008–09: Loan to Dijon[edit]

For the 2008–09 season, Aubameyang was loaned out to Dijon of Ligue 2 in France to gain first team experience.[12] His performances there led him to appear in World Soccer’s Talent Scout section in Summer 2009.[13] He finished with a total of ten goals and two assists in all competitions, including two goals in a Coupe de France tie against Selongey.[14]

2009–10: Loan to Lille[edit]

On 24 June 2009, it was announced Ligue 1 club Lille had decided to sign Aubameyang on loan.[15] Relative to his previous season, however, Aubameyang did not perform as well, scoring just two goals in 14 appearances, four as a starter.[citation needed]

2010–11: Loans to Monaco and Saint-Étienne[edit]

For the 2010–11 season, Aubameyang was loaned for the season to Monaco. On 21 August 2010, he scored his first goal for Monaco in an away match against Lens, then scored again on 29 August at home to Auxerre, where Monaco won 2–0.[16] In January 2011, after six months with the club, Aubameyang was loaned to Saint-Étienne until the end of the 2010–11 season, finishing the season with four goals and three assists. In July 2011, the loan was extended for the entire 2011–12 season.[citation needed]

Saint-Étienne[edit]

On 22 December 2011, Aubameyang signed with Saint-Étienne on a permanent deal. He was quickly added to the starting line up and was given the number 7 jersey. In February 2012, he scored his first hat-trick against Lorient. He became an integral part of the squad, scoring half of the team’s away goals during the season, and went on to be Ligue 1’s 4th top scorer having scored 16 goals behind Montpellier’s Giroud with 21, PSG’s Nenê with 21 too and Lille’s Eden Hazard with 20.

On 20 April 2013, Aubameyang was in the starting line-up for Saint-Étienne in the 2013 Coupe de la Ligue Final. Les Verts won the match 1–0 with a goal from Brandão to give Aubameyang his first major trophy as a professional footballer. He finished the season with 18 goals and seven assists in all competitions.[citation needed]

In the 2012–13 season, Aubameyang ended second in the competition’s top-goalscorers list, scoring 19 goals and finishing behind only Zlatan Ibrahimović. From his 37 appearances, he also provided eight assists. The season was widely regarded as his breakout year—he appeared in the Ligue 1 team of the season and he won the Ligue 1 African Player of the Year award.[17]

Borussia Dortmund[edit]

2013–15: DFL-Supercups[edit]

On 4 July 2013, Aubameyang joined 2012–13 Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund on a five-year contract.[18] He made his competitive debut for his new club on 27 July 2013 against Bayern Munich in the DFL-Supercup, replacing Jakub Błaszczykowski for the last 18 minutes of Dortmund’s 4–2 victory, assisting Dortmund’s final goal, scored by Marco Reus.[citation needed] On 10 August, Aubameyang made his Bundesliga debut and scored a hat-trick against FC Augsburg, including a goal from his first shot in the league. In the process, Aubameyang also became the first Gabonese player to appear in the Bundesliga.[19] On 27 November, he scored his first Champions League goal in a 3–1 win against Napoli in the group stage of the 2013–14 competition.[20] He later took a penalty against 1860 Munich that propelled Dortmund into the next round of the 2013–14 DFB-Pokal, finishing the year with 13 league goals and 16 goals in all competitions.[citation needed]

On 13 August 2014, Aubameyang assisted Borussia Dortmund’s first goal and scored the second goal in a 2–0 victory over Bayern Munich in the DFL-Supercup.[21] After scoring the goal, he celebrated by putting on a Spider-Man mask.[21] In Dortmund’s next match, a 4–1 win over Stuttgarter Kickers in the first round of the DFB-Pokal, Aubameyang scored two-second-half goals and provided the assist for Adrián Ramos’ goal.[22] On 13 September, Aubameyang scored his first Bundesliga goal of the season, netting Dortmund’s final goal of their 3–1 win over SC Freiburg.[23] Three days later, Aubameyang scored Dortmund’s second goal in a 2–0 win over future club Arsenal in the first group match of the Champions League.[24]

Aubameyang ended his second season in Dortmund with 25 goals from 46 appearances, including one in the 2015 DFB-Pokal Final, where Dortmund were defeated 3–1 by VfL Wolfsburg at the Olympiastadion.[25]

2015–16: League runner-up[edit]

On 31 July 2015, Aubameyang signed a new contract to last until 2020, saying, «Every part of me wants to be here and I have never wanted to leave.»[26] On 20 August, he scored a brace as Dortmund came from 0–3 down to win 3–4 at Odds BK in the first leg of their Europa League play-off.[27] By scoring in Dortmund’s 1–1 draw with 1899 Hoffenheim on 23 September, Aubameyang became the first player in Bundesliga history to score in each of his team’s opening six matches of a season.[28] He later extended this record to eight matches, scoring in the team’s next two fixtures against Darmstadt 98 and Bayern Munich, before failing to score for the first time in the Bundesliga season in a 2–0 win at Mainz 05.[29]

2016–17: Bundesliga top goalscorer and DFB-Pokal[edit]

Aubameyang training with Borussia Dortmund in 2017

Aubameyang began his 2016–17 season in the Bundesliga with a double against Mainz 05 on 27 August in a 2–1 victory, while also scoring twice against VfL Wolfsburg on 20 September. Aubameyang scored three days later against recently promoted SC Freiburg, bringing his season total to 5, into a tie atop the scoring charts with Lewandowski early in the season. Following an injury to Marcel Schmelzer, Aubameyang wore the captain’s armband for Dortmund for the first time on 22 October, also scoring a goal in the 3–3 draw at FC Ingolstadt.[38]

Aubameyang also got off to an excellent start in Dortmund’s Champions League group stage matches, scoring in each of their first leg matches as Dortmund were joint top of their group with Real Madrid. However, Aubameyang was left out of the squad by Thomas Tuchel for their return leg against Sporting CP on 2 November due to an «internal issue».[39] It turned out that he received a one-game suspension for breaking club rules, by traveling to Milan instead of staying in Dortmund.[40] Expected to return that weekend at Hamburger SV, Aubameyang exploded with a four-goal performance in a 5–2 victory, their first in five tries in the Bundesliga, while also assisting Ousmane Dembélé for Dortmund’s final goal.[41]

Arsenal[edit]

On 31 January 2018, Aubameyang signed for Premier League club, Arsenal, for a then-club-record fee,[49] reported to be £56 million.[7]

2017–2019: Debut season, Premier League Golden Boot[edit]

On 3 February, Aubameyang made his debut for Arsenal against Everton in the Premier League in a 5–1 home victory, scoring the team’s fourth goal, chipping the ball over a grounded Jordan Pickford.[50] After missing the Europa League matches against Östersunds FK for the Gunners due to being cup-tied, Aubameyang registered his first away goal for the club in the team’s 2–1 away defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion.[51] Aubameyang registered his first assist for the team, setting up Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s goal in a 3–0 win over Watford, Aubameyang also scored the Gunners’ second goal (which was assisted by Mkhitaryan), rounding the goalkeeper.[52]

Aubameyang kept up his fine goalscoring form by scoring twice in Arsenal’s 3–0 home win against Stoke City. Aubameyang’s goals against Stoke (one of which was also his first converted penalty for the club) made him the first player to score five times in his first six games for the club.[53][54][non-primary source needed] He netted his second brace for Arsenal, in manager Arsène Wenger’s final home game for the club, opening and closing the scoring, whilst also assisting Alex Iwobi’s goal, in an eventual 5–0 win over Burnley.[55] Aubameyang followed this up by scoring the only goal in Arsenal’s 1–0 away win against Huddersfield Town. Aubameyang ended the season with ten goals and four assists in thirteen Premier League games and was the last goalscorer for Arsenal under Arsène Wenger.[56]

Aubameyang scored his first goal of the following season in a 3–2 away win over Cardiff City on 2 September 2018. After a flick from Alexandre Lacazette, Aubameyang took a touch before curling the ball past the Cardiff goalkeeper. Aubameyang’s strike from outside the box ended his personal run of 76 consecutive goals from inside the box in club football and was also his 150th goal in league football.[57] Aubameyang made his European debut for Arsenal, in the 4–2 home win over Vorskla Poltava, scoring two goals, before being substituted for Mesut Özil in the 57th minute. Aubameyang’s goals meant that he had been directly involved in 12 goals in 10 appearances for Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.[58] By October 2018, Aubameyang had tallied 16 goals in Premier League play since joining Arsenal in February. According to Opta statistics, that gave him a minutes per goal ratio of 104.6, which set the record for the best minutes per goal ratio in Premier League history (minimum 10 goals).[59]

Aubameyang became the first player to reach 10 goals in the Premier League that season, following a brace in Arsenal’s 4–2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby on 2 December. Aubameyang scored the Gunners’ opening goal from the penalty spot and later curled a shot past Hugo Lloris in the second-half; he also grabbed an assist for Arsenal’s fourth goal, which was Lucas Torreira’s first goal for the club. The victory took Arsenal above Tottenham in the Premier League on goal difference.[60]

Aubameyang scored his first Arsenal hat-trick in the club’s 4–2 win over Valencia on 9 May 2019. Aubameyang also set up the Gunners’ second goal, scored by Alexandre Lacazette. Aubameyang’s hat-trick meant that Arsenal reached the Europa League final, making it the club’s second European final in thirteen years.[61] It also saw him become the first Arsenal player to score a hat-trick in the semi-finals of a European competition.[62]

Aubameyang finished the season with two goals in a 3–1 away win at Burnley, meaning he ended the season sharing the Premier League Golden Boot title with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané, on 22 goals.[63] He played the full 90 minutes in Arsenal’s 4–1 defeat to Chelsea in the Europa League, failing to make a significant impact as the result meant Arsenal missed out on Champions League qualification.[64]

2019–2022: FA Cup win and departure[edit]

On 11 August 2019, Aubameyang scored his and Arsenal’s first goal of the season in their 1–0 opening match victory over Newcastle United at St James’ Park, in which he demonstrated perfect technique to cushion a cross from Ainsley Maitland-Niles, to slot the ball past Martin Dúbravka, with José Mourinho hailing the strike as «a moment of genius».[65][66] Aubameyang scored his first home goal of the campaign in Arsenal’s next game, a 2–1 win over Burnley on 17 August. Aubameyang scored what turned out to be the winning goal, following an assist from Dani Ceballos.[67] Aubameyang scored his first European goal of the season on 19 September against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League, as Arsenal won 3–0 away from home on matchday 1.[68]

Aubameyang’s five goals in September, including equalizers against Tottenham and Manchester United and the winner against Aston Villa, saw him named the Premier League Player of the Month, beating the likes of Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold, Tottenham’s Son Heung-min and Manchester City duo Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez to the award.[69] On 5 November 2019, after Granit Xhaka was stripped of the Arsenal captaincy following his angry reaction to getting booed by the Arsenal supporters during their Premier League game against Crystal Palace,[70] head coach Unai Emery confirmed that Aubameyang would take over as the new Arsenal captain.[71]

On 1 December, following the dismissal of Emery, Aubameyang scored both goals in Arsenal’s eventual 2–2 draw with Norwich City in interim head coach Freddie Ljungberg’s first game in charge. Aubameyang’s first goal (a penalty) had to be retaken, after VAR discovered there to be encroachment in the penalty area. Aubameyang’s first effort was kept out by goalkeeper Tim Krul, however, his second effort (the same side as his previous attempt), was successfully converted.[72]

Aubameyang scored in Arsenal’s 1–1 draw with Crystal Palace on 11 January 2020, but was also sent off for a late challenge on Palace midfielder Max Meyer. Aubameyang was originally given a yellow card for the tackle by referee Paul Tierney, however the card was eventually upgraded to a red card, by the VAR, resulting in Aubameyang’s first-ever red card for the Gunners and would mean that the striker would miss Arsenal’s next three matches against Sheffield United, Chelsea, and Arsenal’s FA Cup tie against Bournemouth.[73]

On 27 February, in Arsenal’s Europa League second leg round of 32 match against Olympiacos and with the aggregate score tied at 1–1, Aubameyang’s scissor kick goal in extra time allowed his side to equalize the match and lead the tie on aggregate. However, following a 119th-minute goal by Olympiacos that meant Arsenal would be heading out of the competition, Aubameyang missed an open shot from five yards out in the last seconds of the match that would have seen his side through.[74] Following Arsenal’s elimination, Aubameyang apologized for and lamented his miss, stating, «I feel very, very bad. It can happen but I do not know how I missed this chance. I was tired, I had some cramps but it is not an excuse.»[75]

Following the resumption of the league in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Aubameyang did not score or assist in the first three Premier League games after the restart for Arsenal, but eventually netted a brace on 1 July against Norwich City in a 4–0 rout. Aubameyang’s first goal was his 50th in the league for Arsenal, making him the quickest player to reach 50 goals for the club in the Premier League era, having achieved the feat in just 79 league appearances, four games quicker than all-time club goalscorer Thierry Henry, and also became the sixth fastest to 50 in the Premier League, behind Andy Cole, Alan Shearer, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Fernando Torres and Mohamed Salah.[76] Aubameyang also assisted the Gunners’ second goal, which was scored by Granit Xhaka.[77] He ended the season with 22 league goals, one behind Jamie Vardy, the winner of the Golden Boot, and tied with Danny Ings for second place.[78]

On 18 July, in their FA Cup semi-final against defending champions Manchester City, Aubameyang scored both goals in a 2–0 win for Arsenal, sending them to the final.[79] On 1 August, he converted a penalty and scored the winner in the final, as Arsenal defeated Chelsea 2–1 and Aubameyang lifted his first trophy with the club, becoming the first African to win the FA Cup as a captain.[80][81]

On 29 August 2020, Aubameyang scored a goal in normal time and the fifth and winning penalty in a shoot-out win against Liverpool in the Community Shield, after the game ended 1–1.[82] On 12 September, he scored in the first league game of the new season the final goal of a 3–0 win away to Fulham.[83] On 15 September, Aubameyang signed a new three-year contract with Arsenal.[84] On 1 November, he scored a penalty in a 1–0 away win against Manchester United, to grant Arsenal their first Premier League win at Old Trafford since 2006.[85]

Aubameyang scored two goals for Arsenal in their 3–0 victory over Newcastle United on 18 January 2021.[86] However, he did not play in the club’s next three matches, in order to tend to his ill mother.[87] On 14 February, Aubameyang scored his first Premier League hat-trick in a 4–2 win over Leeds United. This took him to 200 career goals across Europe’s top five leagues.[88] On 25 February, he scored two goals against Benfica in a 3–2 win to secure a place in the Europa League round of 16.[89] On 14 March, Aubameyang was left out of the starting line up in the North London Derby against Tottenham, the manager citing disciplinary reasons.

On matchday 16 of the 2021–22 season, Aubameyang was omitted from the squad for Arsenal’s match against Southampton, with manager Mikel Arteta yet again citing disciplinary reasons.[90] Three days later, Aubameyang was stripped of the captaincy.[91] On 1 February 2022, Arsenal announced Aubameyang’s departure from the club by mutual consent.[92]

Barcelona[edit]

On 2 February 2022, Barcelona reached an agreement for Aubameyang to join the club. Aubameyang signed a contract until 30 June 2025 with an option to agree departure on 30 June 2023.[93] The deal also included a buyout clause of €100 million (£83.4 million).[94] Aubameyang made his debut for Barcelona on 6 February 2022, coming on as a substitute in a 4–2 win over Atlético Madrid.[95] On 20 February, he scored his first competitive goals in his fourth match for Barcelona, scoring a hat-trick in a 4–1 away win at Mestalla Stadium over Valencia in a man of the match performance.[96][97] On 20 March 2022 Aubameyang scored a brace and assisted Ferran Torres in his first El Clásico helping Barcelona to a 4–0 away victory against the league leaders.[98]

Aubameyang was invited to play for Italy U19s after a good season with Dijon, but he debuted for the France under-21 team in February 2009 in a friendly match against Tunisia U21.[103]

Aubameyang was also eligible to play for Spain because he has Spanish nationality. He decided to represent Gabon because his father once captained the team, but he maintains close relationship with Spain and expressed a desire to play in La Liga prior to signing for FC Barcelona.[104][105]

On 25 March 2009, Aubameyang was selected for the Gabon national team[106] and made his debut for the squad. He scored his first goal in a 2–1 victory over Morocco, then scored a goal each in friendly matches against Benin, Togo, Algeria and Senegal.[107]

He netted three goals in total, finishing the tournament as one of the top scorers. On 5 February 2012, he set up the opening goal for his team and hit the post in the quarter-final against Mali. However, the match ended 1–1 after extra time and Aubameyang had his penalty saved in the shootout to decide the game.[108]

In July 2012, Aubameyang represented Gabon at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. He scored in the team’s opening game against Switzerland, which was Gabon’s first-ever Olympic goal, and would also prove to be Gabon’s only goal of the tournament. They were eliminated in the group stage.[109]

Pierre-Emerick Emiliano François Aubameyang ONM (born 18 June 1989) is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Chelsea. He is renowned for his pace, finishing, and off-ball movement.[5] Born in France, he is a former Gabonese international and is the country’s all-time top goalscorer.

The son of Pierre Aubameyang, Pierre-Emerick began his senior club career playing for Italian club AC Milan, but never appeared for the club as he went on a series of loan spells in France. He moved to Saint-Étienne in 2011. There, he won a Coupe de la Ligue title and joined Borussia Dortmund in 2013. In Germany, Aubameyang finished as the league’s top goalscorer in the 2016–17 season and won a DFB-Pokal. He also ranks as the club’s seventh highest all-time goalscorer.[6] In 2018, Aubameyang was the subject of a then-club record association football transfer when signed for Arsenal in a transfer worth £56 million (€60 million), making him the most expensive Gabonese player of all time.[7] With Arsenal, he won an FA Cup and finished as the league’s joint-top goalscorer in the 2018–19 season.[8] In 2022, Aubameyang joined Barcelona after his Arsenal contract was cancelled by mutual consent. However, he returned to the Premier League after he signed for Chelsea at the end of the summer transfer window.

Aubameyang is Gabon’s all-time top goalscorer. He made his senior debut for Gabon in 2009 aged 19, and appeared in four Africa Cup of Nations tournaments and the 2012 Summer Olympics. In 2016, Aubameyang was named African Footballer of the Year; the first Gabonese and second European-born player to win the award.[9]

Club career[edit]

AC Milan[edit]

«My role model? Ronaldo, but the Brazilian, not the Portuguese one, I think [he] has revolutionised football with his way of playing. He was dynamic, technically strong and fast. He was an enormous player.»

—Aubameyang on the influence of his idol, Brazilian striker Ronaldo, on his own career.[10]

Aubameyang joined AC Milan’s youth academy in January 2007. In August, he was part of the squad that finished fourth in the inaugural Champions Youth Cup held in Malaysia, where he made a name for himself and attracted the attention of scouts internationally. He scored against every opponent Milan played, finishing with seven goals in six matches.[11]

2008–09: Loan to Dijon[edit]

For the 2008–09 season, Aubameyang was loaned out to Dijon of Ligue 2 in France to gain first team experience.[12] His performances there led him to appear in World Soccer’s Talent Scout section in Summer 2009.[13] He finished with a total of ten goals and two assists in all competitions, including two goals in a Coupe de France tie against Selongey.[14]

2009–10: Loan to Lille[edit]

On 24 June 2009, it was announced Ligue 1 club Lille had decided to sign Aubameyang on loan.[15] Relative to his previous season, however, Aubameyang did not perform as well, scoring just two goals in 14 appearances, four as a starter.[citation needed]

2010–11: Loans to Monaco and Saint-Étienne[edit]

For the 2010–11 season, Aubameyang was loaned for the season to Monaco. On 21 August 2010, he scored his first goal for Monaco in an away match against Lens, then scored again on 29 August at home to Auxerre, where Monaco won 2–0.[16] In January 2011, after six months with the club, Aubameyang was loaned to Saint-Étienne until the end of the 2010–11 season, finishing the season with four goals and three assists. In July 2011, the loan was extended for the entire 2011–12 season.[citation needed]

Saint-Étienne[edit]

On 22 December 2011, Aubameyang signed with Saint-Étienne on a permanent deal. He was quickly added to the starting line up and was given the number 7 jersey. In February 2012, he scored his first hat-trick against Lorient. He became an integral part of the squad, scoring half of the team’s away goals during the season, and went on to be Ligue 1’s 4th top scorer having scored 16 goals behind Montpellier’s Giroud with 21, PSG’s Nenê with 21 too and Lille’s Eden Hazard with 20.

On 20 April 2013, Aubameyang was in the starting line-up for Saint-Étienne in the 2013 Coupe de la Ligue Final. Les Verts won the match 1–0 with a goal from Brandão to give Aubameyang his first major trophy as a professional footballer. He finished the season with 18 goals and seven assists in all competitions.[citation needed]

In the 2012–13 season, Aubameyang ended second in the competition’s top-goalscorers list, scoring 19 goals and finishing behind only Zlatan Ibrahimović. From his 37 appearances, he also provided eight assists. The season was widely regarded as his breakout year—he appeared in the Ligue 1 team of the season and he won the Ligue 1 African Player of the Year award.[17]

Borussia Dortmund[edit]

2013–15: DFL-Supercups[edit]

On 4 July 2013, Aubameyang joined 2012–13 Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund on a five-year contract.[18] He made his competitive debut for his new club on 27 July 2013 against Bayern Munich in the DFL-Supercup, replacing Jakub Błaszczykowski for the last 18 minutes of Dortmund’s 4–2 victory, assisting Dortmund’s final goal, scored by Marco Reus.[citation needed] On 10 August, Aubameyang made his Bundesliga debut and scored a hat-trick against FC Augsburg, including a goal from his first shot in the league. In the process, Aubameyang also became the first Gabonese player to appear in the Bundesliga.[19] On 27 November, he scored his first Champions League goal in a 3–1 win against Napoli in the group stage of the 2013–14 competition.[20] He later took a penalty against 1860 Munich that propelled Dortmund into the next round of the 2013–14 DFB-Pokal, finishing the year with 13 league goals and 16 goals in all competitions.[citation needed]

On 13 August 2014, Aubameyang assisted Borussia Dortmund’s first goal and scored the second goal in a 2–0 victory over Bayern Munich in the DFL-Supercup.[21] After scoring the goal, he celebrated by putting on a Spider-Man mask.[21] In Dortmund’s next match, a 4–1 win over Stuttgarter Kickers in the first round of the DFB-Pokal, Aubameyang scored two-second-half goals and provided the assist for Adrián Ramos’ goal.[22] On 13 September, Aubameyang scored his first Bundesliga goal of the season, netting Dortmund’s final goal of their 3–1 win over SC Freiburg.[23] Three days later, Aubameyang scored Dortmund’s second goal in a 2–0 win over future club Arsenal in the first group match of the Champions League.[24]

Aubameyang ended his second season in Dortmund with 25 goals from 46 appearances, including one in the 2015 DFB-Pokal Final, where Dortmund were defeated 3–1 by VfL Wolfsburg at the Olympiastadion.[25]

2015–16: League runner-up[edit]

On 31 July 2015, Aubameyang signed a new contract to last until 2020, saying, «Every part of me wants to be here and I have never wanted to leave.»[26] On 20 August, he scored a brace as Dortmund came from 0–3 down to win 3–4 at Odds BK in the first leg of their Europa League play-off.[27] By scoring in Dortmund’s 1–1 draw with 1899 Hoffenheim on 23 September, Aubameyang became the first player in Bundesliga history to score in each of his team’s opening six matches of a season.[28] He later extended this record to eight matches, scoring in the team’s next two fixtures against Darmstadt 98 and Bayern Munich, before failing to score for the first time in the Bundesliga season in a 2–0 win at Mainz 05.[29]

On 22 October, Aubameyang scored a hat-trick in a UEFA Europa League match against Gabala of Azerbaijan.[30] Three days later, he scored another hat-trick in a 5–1 defeat of Augsburg at the Westfalenstadion.[31] On 8 November, Aubameyang scored the winning goal for Dortmund in a 3–2 Revierderby victory over rivals FC Schalke 04.[32] At the halfway stage of the Bundesliga season, Aubameyang was the league’s top scorer with 18 goals from 17 appearances.[33]

A week later, he scored both goals in the 2–1 second-leg victory at White Hart Lane, taking him to 35 goals for the season.[36] In scoring two goals in a 5–1 win against VfL Wolfsburg on 30 April, Aubameyang reached 25 goals in the Bundesliga season, thus ending as the league’s second-top scorer behind Robert Lewandowski of Bayern Munich.[37]

2016–17: Bundesliga top goalscorer and DFB-Pokal[edit]

Aubameyang training with Borussia Dortmund in 2017

Aubameyang began his 2016–17 season in the Bundesliga with a double against Mainz 05 on 27 August in a 2–1 victory, while also scoring twice against VfL Wolfsburg on 20 September. Aubameyang scored three days later against recently promoted SC Freiburg, bringing his season total to 5, into a tie atop the scoring charts with Lewandowski early in the season. Following an injury to Marcel Schmelzer, Aubameyang wore the captain’s armband for Dortmund for the first time on 22 October, also scoring a goal in the 3–3 draw at FC Ingolstadt.[38]

Aubameyang also got off to an excellent start in Dortmund’s Champions League group stage matches, scoring in each of their first leg matches as Dortmund were joint top of their group with Real Madrid. However, Aubameyang was left out of the squad by Thomas Tuchel for their return leg against Sporting CP on 2 November due to an «internal issue».[39] It turned out that he received a one-game suspension for breaking club rules, by traveling to Milan instead of staying in Dortmund.[40] Expected to return that weekend at Hamburger SV, Aubameyang exploded with a four-goal performance in a 5–2 victory, their first in five tries in the Bundesliga, while also assisting Ousmane Dembélé for Dortmund’s final goal.[41]

On 19 November, Aubameyang scored the only goal of a 1–0 win over Bayern Munich at the Westfalenstadion. This was Dortmund’s first Klassiker victory in the league since April 2014.[42] On 7 December, Aubameyang scored Borussia’s first goal in a 2–2 comeback draw with Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium to secure qualification to the next stage as group winners.[43] On 16 December, Aubameyang scored his 100th goal for Borussia Dortmund in a 2–2 draw away to 1899 Hoffenheim.[44]

Arsenal[edit]

On 31 January 2018, Aubameyang signed for Premier League club, Arsenal, for a then-club-record fee,[49] reported to be £56 million.[7]

2017–2019: Debut season, Premier League Golden Boot[edit]

On 3 February, Aubameyang made his debut for Arsenal against Everton in the Premier League in a 5–1 home victory, scoring the team’s fourth goal, chipping the ball over a grounded Jordan Pickford.[50] After missing the Europa League matches against Östersunds FK for the Gunners due to being cup-tied, Aubameyang registered his first away goal for the club in the team’s 2–1 away defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion.[51] Aubameyang registered his first assist for the team, setting up Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s goal in a 3–0 win over Watford, Aubameyang also scored the Gunners’ second goal (which was assisted by Mkhitaryan), rounding the goalkeeper.[52]

Aubameyang kept up his fine goalscoring form by scoring twice in Arsenal’s 3–0 home win against Stoke City. Aubameyang’s goals against Stoke (one of which was also his first converted penalty for the club) made him the first player to score five times in his first six games for the club.[53][54][non-primary source needed] He netted his second brace for Arsenal, in manager Arsène Wenger’s final home game for the club, opening and closing the scoring, whilst also assisting Alex Iwobi’s goal, in an eventual 5–0 win over Burnley.[55] Aubameyang followed this up by scoring the only goal in Arsenal’s 1–0 away win against Huddersfield Town. Aubameyang ended the season with ten goals and four assists in thirteen Premier League games and was the last goalscorer for Arsenal under Arsène Wenger.[56]

Aubameyang scored his first goal of the following season in a 3–2 away win over Cardiff City on 2 September 2018. After a flick from Alexandre Lacazette, Aubameyang took a touch before curling the ball past the Cardiff goalkeeper. Aubameyang’s strike from outside the box ended his personal run of 76 consecutive goals from inside the box in club football and was also his 150th goal in league football.[57] Aubameyang made his European debut for Arsenal, in the 4–2 home win over Vorskla Poltava, scoring two goals, before being substituted for Mesut Özil in the 57th minute. Aubameyang’s goals meant that he had been directly involved in 12 goals in 10 appearances for Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.[58] By October 2018, Aubameyang had tallied 16 goals in Premier League play since joining Arsenal in February. According to Opta statistics, that gave him a minutes per goal ratio of 104.6, which set the record for the best minutes per goal ratio in Premier League history (minimum 10 goals).[59]

Aubameyang became the first player to reach 10 goals in the Premier League that season, following a brace in Arsenal’s 4–2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby on 2 December. Aubameyang scored the Gunners’ opening goal from the penalty spot and later curled a shot past Hugo Lloris in the second-half; he also grabbed an assist for Arsenal’s fourth goal, which was Lucas Torreira’s first goal for the club. The victory took Arsenal above Tottenham in the Premier League on goal difference.[60]

Aubameyang scored his first Arsenal hat-trick in the club’s 4–2 win over Valencia on 9 May 2019. Aubameyang also set up the Gunners’ second goal, scored by Alexandre Lacazette. Aubameyang’s hat-trick meant that Arsenal reached the Europa League final, making it the club’s second European final in thirteen years.[61] It also saw him become the first Arsenal player to score a hat-trick in the semi-finals of a European competition.[62]

Aubameyang finished the season with two goals in a 3–1 away win at Burnley, meaning he ended the season sharing the Premier League Golden Boot title with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané, on 22 goals.[63] He played the full 90 minutes in Arsenal’s 4–1 defeat to Chelsea in the Europa League, failing to make a significant impact as the result meant Arsenal missed out on Champions League qualification.[64]

2019–2022: FA Cup win and departure[edit]

Aubameyang in an ad for Arsenal in 2019

On 11 August 2019, Aubameyang scored his and Arsenal’s first goal of the season in their 1–0 opening match victory over Newcastle United at St James’ Park, in which he demonstrated perfect technique to cushion a cross from Ainsley Maitland-Niles, to slot the ball past Martin Dúbravka, with José Mourinho hailing the strike as «a moment of genius».[65][66] Aubameyang scored his first home goal of the campaign in Arsenal’s next game, a 2–1 win over Burnley on 17 August. Aubameyang scored what turned out to be the winning goal, following an assist from Dani Ceballos.[67] Aubameyang scored his first European goal of the season on 19 September against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League, as Arsenal won 3–0 away from home on matchday 1.[68]

Aubameyang’s five goals in September, including equalizers against Tottenham and Manchester United and the winner against Aston Villa, saw him named the Premier League Player of the Month, beating the likes of Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold, Tottenham’s Son Heung-min and Manchester City duo Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez to the award.[69] On 5 November 2019, after Granit Xhaka was stripped of the Arsenal captaincy following his angry reaction to getting booed by the Arsenal supporters during their Premier League game against Crystal Palace,[70] head coach Unai Emery confirmed that Aubameyang would take over as the new Arsenal captain.[71]

On 1 December, following the dismissal of Emery, Aubameyang scored both goals in Arsenal’s eventual 2–2 draw with Norwich City in interim head coach Freddie Ljungberg’s first game in charge. Aubameyang’s first goal (a penalty) had to be retaken, after VAR discovered there to be encroachment in the penalty area. Aubameyang’s first effort was kept out by goalkeeper Tim Krul, however, his second effort (the same side as his previous attempt), was successfully converted.[72]

Aubameyang scored in Arsenal’s 1–1 draw with Crystal Palace on 11 January 2020, but was also sent off for a late challenge on Palace midfielder Max Meyer. Aubameyang was originally given a yellow card for the tackle by referee Paul Tierney, however the card was eventually upgraded to a red card, by the VAR, resulting in Aubameyang’s first-ever red card for the Gunners and would mean that the striker would miss Arsenal’s next three matches against Sheffield United, Chelsea, and Arsenal’s FA Cup tie against Bournemouth.[73]

On 27 February, in Arsenal’s Europa League second leg round of 32 match against Olympiacos and with the aggregate score tied at 1–1, Aubameyang’s scissor kick goal in extra time allowed his side to equalize the match and lead the tie on aggregate. However, following a 119th-minute goal by Olympiacos that meant Arsenal would be heading out of the competition, Aubameyang missed an open shot from five yards out in the last seconds of the match that would have seen his side through.[74] Following Arsenal’s elimination, Aubameyang apologized for and lamented his miss, stating, «I feel very, very bad. It can happen but I do not know how I missed this chance. I was tired, I had some cramps but it is not an excuse.»[75]

Following the resumption of the league in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Aubameyang did not score or assist in the first three Premier League games after the restart for Arsenal, but eventually netted a brace on 1 July against Norwich City in a 4–0 rout. Aubameyang’s first goal was his 50th in the league for Arsenal, making him the quickest player to reach 50 goals for the club in the Premier League era, having achieved the feat in just 79 league appearances, four games quicker than all-time club goalscorer Thierry Henry, and also became the sixth fastest to 50 in the Premier League, behind Andy Cole, Alan Shearer, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Fernando Torres and Mohamed Salah.[76] Aubameyang also assisted the Gunners’ second goal, which was scored by Granit Xhaka.[77] He ended the season with 22 league goals, one behind Jamie Vardy, the winner of the Golden Boot, and tied with Danny Ings for second place.[78]

On 18 July, in their FA Cup semi-final against defending champions Manchester City, Aubameyang scored both goals in a 2–0 win for Arsenal, sending them to the final.[79] On 1 August, he converted a penalty and scored the winner in the final, as Arsenal defeated Chelsea 2–1 and Aubameyang lifted his first trophy with the club, becoming the first African to win the FA Cup as a captain.[80][81]

On 29 August 2020, Aubameyang scored a goal in normal time and the fifth and winning penalty in a shoot-out win against Liverpool in the Community Shield, after the game ended 1–1.[82] On 12 September, he scored in the first league game of the new season the final goal of a 3–0 win away to Fulham.[83] On 15 September, Aubameyang signed a new three-year contract with Arsenal.[84] On 1 November, he scored a penalty in a 1–0 away win against Manchester United, to grant Arsenal their first Premier League win at Old Trafford since 2006.[85]

Aubameyang scored two goals for Arsenal in their 3–0 victory over Newcastle United on 18 January 2021.[86] However, he did not play in the club’s next three matches, in order to tend to his ill mother.[87] On 14 February, Aubameyang scored his first Premier League hat-trick in a 4–2 win over Leeds United. This took him to 200 career goals across Europe’s top five leagues.[88] On 25 February, he scored two goals against Benfica in a 3–2 win to secure a place in the Europa League round of 16.[89] On 14 March, Aubameyang was left out of the starting line up in the North London Derby against Tottenham, the manager citing disciplinary reasons.

On matchday 16 of the 2021–22 season, Aubameyang was omitted from the squad for Arsenal’s match against Southampton, with manager Mikel Arteta yet again citing disciplinary reasons.[90] Three days later, Aubameyang was stripped of the captaincy.[91] On 1 February 2022, Arsenal announced Aubameyang’s departure from the club by mutual consent.[92]

Barcelona[edit]

On 2 February 2022, Barcelona reached an agreement for Aubameyang to join the club. Aubameyang signed a contract until 30 June 2025 with an option to agree departure on 30 June 2023.[93] The deal also included a buyout clause of €100 million (£83.4 million).[94] Aubameyang made his debut for Barcelona on 6 February 2022, coming on as a substitute in a 4–2 win over Atlético Madrid.[95] On 20 February, he scored his first competitive goals in his fourth match for Barcelona, scoring a hat-trick in a 4–1 away win at Mestalla Stadium over Valencia in a man of the match performance.[96][97] On 20 March 2022 Aubameyang scored a brace and assisted Ferran Torres in his first El Clásico helping Barcelona to a 4–0 away victory against the league leaders.[98]

Chelsea[edit]

On 2 September 2022, Chelsea announced the signing of Aubameyang to join the club on a two-year contract.[99] Barcelona confirmed the fee was €12 million (£10.3 million).[100] Aubameyang made his Chelsea debut on 6 September, after being named a starter in a 1–0 Champions League defeat to Dinamo Zagreb.[101] On 1 October, he made his league debut for the club and scored his first goal in a 2-1 away win against Crystal Palace.[102]

International career[edit]

Aubameyang was invited to play for Italy U19s after a good season with Dijon, but he debuted for the France under-21 team in February 2009 in a friendly match against Tunisia U21.[103]

Aubameyang was also eligible to play for Spain because he has Spanish nationality. He decided to represent Gabon because his father once captained the team, but he maintains close relationship with Spain and expressed a desire to play in La Liga prior to signing for FC Barcelona.[104][105]

On 25 March 2009, Aubameyang was selected for the Gabon national team[106] and made his debut for the squad. He scored his first goal in a 2–1 victory over Morocco, then scored a goal each in friendly matches against Benin, Togo, Algeria and Senegal.[107]

Aubameyang was a key member of the Gabon national side that reached the quarter-finals of the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations as co-hosts of the competition. He netted three goals in total, finishing the tournament as one of the top scorers. On 5 February 2012, he set up the opening goal for his team and hit the post in the quarter-final against Mali. However, the match ended 1–1 after extra time and Aubameyang had his penalty saved in the shootout to decide the game.[108]

In July 2012, Aubameyang represented Gabon at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. He scored in the team’s opening game against Switzerland, which was Gabon’s first-ever Olympic goal, and would also prove to be Gabon’s only goal of the tournament. They were eliminated in the group stage.[109]

On 15 June 2013, Aubameyang scored a hat-trick of penalty kicks in Gabon’s 4–1 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying win over Niger. He then scored a brace against Burkina Faso in the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations Qualification.[citation needed]

Aubameyang captained Gabon at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, scoring the team’s opening goal of the tournament in their 2–0 win over Burkina Faso on 17 January 2015.[110] He also scored a brace against Mali on 25 March 2015. He is Gabon’s highest goalscorer. He rejected a callup for a pivotal World Cup qualifier at home to the Ivory Coast, which they lost 3–0.[111]

On 25 March 2021, Aubameyang captained Gabon to a 3–0 win at home to DR Congo, scoring the third goal to ensure qualification to the African Cup of Nations to be staged in Cameroon.[112] In that time, he contracted malaria, in which he got a fever and had to be hospitalized.[113]

On 6 January 2022, Aubameyang tested positive for COVID-19 before Gabon’s first game in the African Cup of Nations.[114] Aubameyang withdrew from the tournament a few days later to undergo further medical examinations in England after being diagnosed with heart lesions.[115]

On 18 May 2022, Aubameyang announced his retirement from international football.[116] He made a total of 72 appearances for the Gabon national team and scored 30 goals.[117]

Media[edit]

Aubameyang was involved in the Amazon Original sports docuseries All or Nothing: Arsenal, which documented the club by spending time with the coaching staff and players behind the scenes both on and off the field throughout their 2021–22 season.[118][119]

Produced by Fulwell 73, FIFA released Captains in 2022, an eight-part sports docuseries following six national team captains in their respective 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification campaigns.[120] Aubameyang, representing Gabon, starred alongside Thiago Silva (Brazil), Luka Modrić (Croatia), Andre Blake (Jamaica), Hassan Maatouk (Lebanon) and Brian Kaltak (Vanuatu).[120] It was released by Netflix and also shown on FIFA’s own streaming platform, FIFA+.[121]

Personal life[edit]

Aubameyang was born in Laval, France.[122] He is the son of former Gabonese international footballer Pierre Aubameyang and younger half-brother of Catilina and Willy, who have both played for Milan’s youth teams.[123] His mother is Spanish.[124]
He is married to Alysha Behague, the couple have two sons, Curtys and Pierre.[125][126] In August 2022, Aubameyang suffered a broken jaw during a violent robbery of his home in Barcelona.[127]

He is multilingual and speaks French, English, Spanish, Italian, and German.[128]

Pierre-Emerick Emiliano François Aubameyang ONM (born 18 June 1989) is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Chelsea. He is renowned for his pace, finishing, and off-ball movement.[5] Born in France, he is a former Gabonese international and is the country’s all-time top goalscorer.

The son of Pierre Aubameyang, Pierre-Emerick began his senior club career playing for Italian club AC Milan, but never appeared for the club as he went on a series of loan spells in France. He moved to Saint-Étienne in 2011. There, he won a Coupe de la Ligue title and joined Borussia Dortmund in 2013. In Germany, Aubameyang finished as the league’s top goalscorer in the 2016–17 season and won a DFB-Pokal. He also ranks as the club’s seventh highest all-time goalscorer.[6] In 2018, Aubameyang was the subject of a then-club record association football transfer when signed for Arsenal in a transfer worth £56 million (€60 million), making him the most expensive Gabonese player of all time.[7] With Arsenal, he won an FA Cup and finished as the league’s joint-top goalscorer in the 2018–19 season.[8] In 2022, Aubameyang joined Barcelona after his Arsenal contract was cancelled by mutual consent. However, he returned to the Premier League after he signed for Chelsea at the end of the summer transfer window.

Aubameyang is Gabon’s all-time top goalscorer. He made his senior debut for Gabon in 2009 aged 19, and appeared in four Africa Cup of Nations tournaments and the 2012 Summer Olympics. In 2016, Aubameyang was named African Footballer of the Year; the first Gabonese and second European-born player to win the award.[9]

Club career[edit]

AC Milan[edit]

«My role model? Ronaldo, but the Brazilian, not the Portuguese one, I think [he] has revolutionised football with his way of playing. He was dynamic, technically strong and fast. He was an enormous player.»

—Aubameyang on the influence of his idol, Brazilian striker Ronaldo, on his own career.[10]

Aubameyang joined AC Milan’s youth academy in January 2007. In August, he was part of the squad that finished fourth in the inaugural Champions Youth Cup held in Malaysia, where he made a name for himself and attracted the attention of scouts internationally. He scored against every opponent Milan played, finishing with seven goals in six matches.[11]

2008–09: Loan to Dijon[edit]

For the 2008–09 season, Aubameyang was loaned out to Dijon of Ligue 2 in France to gain first team experience.[12] His performances there led him to appear in World Soccer’s Talent Scout section in Summer 2009.[13] He finished with a total of ten goals and two assists in all competitions, including two goals in a Coupe de France tie against Selongey.[14]

2009–10: Loan to Lille[edit]

On 24 June 2009, it was announced Ligue 1 club Lille had decided to sign Aubameyang on loan.[15] Relative to his previous season, however, Aubameyang did not perform as well, scoring just two goals in 14 appearances, four as a starter.[citation needed]

2010–11: Loans to Monaco and Saint-Étienne[edit]

For the 2010–11 season, Aubameyang was loaned for the season to Monaco. On 21 August 2010, he scored his first goal for Monaco in an away match against Lens, then scored again on 29 August at home to Auxerre, where Monaco won 2–0.[16] In January 2011, after six months with the club, Aubameyang was loaned to Saint-Étienne until the end of the 2010–11 season, finishing the season with four goals and three assists. In July 2011, the loan was extended for the entire 2011–12 season.[citation needed]

Saint-Étienne[edit]

On 22 December 2011, Aubameyang signed with Saint-Étienne on a permanent deal. He was quickly added to the starting line up and was given the number 7 jersey. In February 2012, he scored his first hat-trick against Lorient. He became an integral part of the squad, scoring half of the team’s away goals during the season, and went on to be Ligue 1’s 4th top scorer having scored 16 goals behind Montpellier’s Giroud with 21, PSG’s Nenê with 21 too and Lille’s Eden Hazard with 20.

On 20 April 2013, Aubameyang was in the starting line-up for Saint-Étienne in the 2013 Coupe de la Ligue Final. Les Verts won the match 1–0 with a goal from Brandão to give Aubameyang his first major trophy as a professional footballer. He finished the season with 18 goals and seven assists in all competitions.[citation needed]

In the 2012–13 season, Aubameyang ended second in the competition’s top-goalscorers list, scoring 19 goals and finishing behind only Zlatan Ibrahimović. From his 37 appearances, he also provided eight assists. The season was widely regarded as his breakout year—he appeared in the Ligue 1 team of the season and he won the Ligue 1 African Player of the Year award.[17]

Borussia Dortmund[edit]

2013–15: DFL-Supercups[edit]

On 4 July 2013, Aubameyang joined 2012–13 Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund on a five-year contract.[18] He made his competitive debut for his new club on 27 July 2013 against Bayern Munich in the DFL-Supercup, replacing Jakub Błaszczykowski for the last 18 minutes of Dortmund’s 4–2 victory, assisting Dortmund’s final goal, scored by Marco Reus.[citation needed] On 10 August, Aubameyang made his Bundesliga debut and scored a hat-trick against FC Augsburg, including a goal from his first shot in the league. In the process, Aubameyang also became the first Gabonese player to appear in the Bundesliga.[19] On 27 November, he scored his first Champions League goal in a 3–1 win against Napoli in the group stage of the 2013–14 competition.[20] He later took a penalty against 1860 Munich that propelled Dortmund into the next round of the 2013–14 DFB-Pokal, finishing the year with 13 league goals and 16 goals in all competitions.[citation needed]

On 13 August 2014, Aubameyang assisted Borussia Dortmund’s first goal and scored the second goal in a 2–0 victory over Bayern Munich in the DFL-Supercup.[21] After scoring the goal, he celebrated by putting on a Spider-Man mask.[21] In Dortmund’s next match, a 4–1 win over Stuttgarter Kickers in the first round of the DFB-Pokal, Aubameyang scored two-second-half goals and provided the assist for Adrián Ramos’ goal.[22] On 13 September, Aubameyang scored his first Bundesliga goal of the season, netting Dortmund’s final goal of their 3–1 win over SC Freiburg.[23] Three days later, Aubameyang scored Dortmund’s second goal in a 2–0 win over future club Arsenal in the first group match of the Champions League.[24]

Aubameyang ended his second season in Dortmund with 25 goals from 46 appearances, including one in the 2015 DFB-Pokal Final, where Dortmund were defeated 3–1 by VfL Wolfsburg at the Olympiastadion.[25]

2015–16: League runner-up[edit]

On 31 July 2015, Aubameyang signed a new contract to last until 2020, saying, «Every part of me wants to be here and I have never wanted to leave.»[26] On 20 August, he scored a brace as Dortmund came from 0–3 down to win 3–4 at Odds BK in the first leg of their Europa League play-off.[27] By scoring in Dortmund’s 1–1 draw with 1899 Hoffenheim on 23 September, Aubameyang became the first player in Bundesliga history to score in each of his team’s opening six matches of a season.[28] He later extended this record to eight matches, scoring in the team’s next two fixtures against Darmstadt 98 and Bayern Munich, before failing to score for the first time in the Bundesliga season in a 2–0 win at Mainz 05.[29]

On 22 October, Aubameyang scored a hat-trick in a UEFA Europa League match against Gabala of Azerbaijan.[30] Three days later, he scored another hat-trick in a 5–1 defeat of Augsburg at the Westfalenstadion.[31] On 8 November, Aubameyang scored the winning goal for Dortmund in a 3–2 Revierderby victory over rivals FC Schalke 04.[32] At the halfway stage of the Bundesliga season, Aubameyang was the league’s top scorer with 18 goals from 17 appearances.[33]

On 30 January 2016, Aubameyang scored his 19th and 20th league goals of the season to give Dortmund a 2–0 home victory over FC Ingolstadt.[34] Aubameyang reached 30 goals in all competitions in a 3–1 victory over VfB Stuttgart in the quarter-final of the 2015–16 DFB-Pokal. In addition to scoring himself, he assisted the side’s other two goals scored by Marco Reus and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.[35] On 10 March 2016, Aubameyang scored for Borussia in their 3–0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Europa League Round of 16 first-leg. A week later, he scored both goals in the 2–1 second-leg victory at White Hart Lane, taking him to 35 goals for the season.[36] In scoring two goals in a 5–1 win against VfL Wolfsburg on 30 April, Aubameyang reached 25 goals in the Bundesliga season, thus ending as the league’s second-top scorer behind Robert Lewandowski of Bayern Munich.[37]

2016–17: Bundesliga top goalscorer and DFB-Pokal[edit]

Aubameyang training with Borussia Dortmund in 2017

Aubameyang began his 2016–17 season in the Bundesliga with a double against Mainz 05 on 27 August in a 2–1 victory, while also scoring twice against VfL Wolfsburg on 20 September. Aubameyang scored three days later against recently promoted SC Freiburg, bringing his season total to 5, into a tie atop the scoring charts with Lewandowski early in the season. Following an injury to Marcel Schmelzer, Aubameyang wore the captain’s armband for Dortmund for the first time on 22 October, also scoring a goal in the 3–3 draw at FC Ingolstadt.[38]

Aubameyang also got off to an excellent start in Dortmund’s Champions League group stage matches, scoring in each of their first leg matches as Dortmund were joint top of their group with Real Madrid. However, Aubameyang was left out of the squad by Thomas Tuchel for their return leg against Sporting CP on 2 November due to an «internal issue».[39] It turned out that he received a one-game suspension for breaking club rules, by traveling to Milan instead of staying in Dortmund.[40] Expected to return that weekend at Hamburger SV, Aubameyang exploded with a four-goal performance in a 5–2 victory, their first in five tries in the Bundesliga, while also assisting Ousmane Dembélé for Dortmund’s final goal.[41]

On 19 November, Aubameyang scored the only goal of a 1–0 win over Bayern Munich at the Westfalenstadion. This was Dortmund’s first Klassiker victory in the league since April 2014.[42] On 7 December, Aubameyang scored Borussia’s first goal in a 2–2 comeback draw with Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium to secure qualification to the next stage as group winners.[43] On 16 December, Aubameyang scored his 100th goal for Borussia Dortmund in a 2–2 draw away to 1899 Hoffenheim.[44]

On 4 March 2017, Aubameyang passed 20 Bundesliga goals for the second consecutive season with two goals in a 6–2 defeat of Bayer Leverkusen.[45] Four days later, he scored a hat-trick in a 4–0 win over Benfica to put Dortmund into the quarter-finals of the Champions League.[46] On 20 May, Aubameyang scored twice in Borussia’s final day defeat of Werder Bremen to end the season as the Bundesliga’s top scorer with 31 goals.[47] In the final of the 2016–17 DFB-Pokal on 27 May 2017 he scored the winning goal, a penalty, as Dortmund beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2–1.[48]

Arsenal[edit]

On 31 January 2018, Aubameyang signed for Premier League club, Arsenal, for a then-club-record fee,[49] reported to be £56 million.[7]

2017–2019: Debut season, Premier League Golden Boot[edit]

On 3 February, Aubameyang made his debut for Arsenal against Everton in the Premier League in a 5–1 home victory, scoring the team’s fourth goal, chipping the ball over a grounded Jordan Pickford.[50] After missing the Europa League matches against Östersunds FK for the Gunners due to being cup-tied, Aubameyang registered his first away goal for the club in the team’s 2–1 away defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion.[51] Aubameyang registered his first assist for the team, setting up Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s goal in a 3–0 win over Watford, Aubameyang also scored the Gunners’ second goal (which was assisted by Mkhitaryan), rounding the goalkeeper.[52]

Aubameyang kept up his fine goalscoring form by scoring twice in Arsenal’s 3–0 home win against Stoke City. Aubameyang’s goals against Stoke (one of which was also his first converted penalty for the club) made him the first player to score five times in his first six games for the club.[53][54][non-primary source needed] He netted his second brace for Arsenal, in manager Arsène Wenger’s final home game for the club, opening and closing the scoring, whilst also assisting Alex Iwobi’s goal, in an eventual 5–0 win over Burnley.[55] Aubameyang followed this up by scoring the only goal in Arsenal’s 1–0 away win against Huddersfield Town. Aubameyang ended the season with ten goals and four assists in thirteen Premier League games and was the last goalscorer for Arsenal under Arsène Wenger.[56]

Aubameyang scored his first goal of the following season in a 3–2 away win over Cardiff City on 2 September 2018. After a flick from Alexandre Lacazette, Aubameyang took a touch before curling the ball past the Cardiff goalkeeper. Aubameyang’s strike from outside the box ended his personal run of 76 consecutive goals from inside the box in club football and was also his 150th goal in league football.[57] Aubameyang made his European debut for Arsenal, in the 4–2 home win over Vorskla Poltava, scoring two goals, before being substituted for Mesut Özil in the 57th minute. Aubameyang’s goals meant that he had been directly involved in 12 goals in 10 appearances for Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.[58] By October 2018, Aubameyang had tallied 16 goals in Premier League play since joining Arsenal in February. According to Opta statistics, that gave him a minutes per goal ratio of 104.6, which set the record for the best minutes per goal ratio in Premier League history (minimum 10 goals).[59]

Aubameyang became the first player to reach 10 goals in the Premier League that season, following a brace in Arsenal’s 4–2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby on 2 December. Aubameyang scored the Gunners’ opening goal from the penalty spot and later curled a shot past Hugo Lloris in the second-half; he also grabbed an assist for Arsenal’s fourth goal, which was Lucas Torreira’s first goal for the club. The victory took Arsenal above Tottenham in the Premier League on goal difference.[60]

Aubameyang scored his first Arsenal hat-trick in the club’s 4–2 win over Valencia on 9 May 2019. Aubameyang also set up the Gunners’ second goal, scored by Alexandre Lacazette. Aubameyang’s hat-trick meant that Arsenal reached the Europa League final, making it the club’s second European final in thirteen years.[61] It also saw him become the first Arsenal player to score a hat-trick in the semi-finals of a European competition.[62]

Aubameyang finished the season with two goals in a 3–1 away win at Burnley, meaning he ended the season sharing the Premier League Golden Boot title with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané, on 22 goals.[63] He played the full 90 minutes in Arsenal’s 4–1 defeat to Chelsea in the Europa League, failing to make a significant impact as the result meant Arsenal missed out on Champions League qualification.[64]

2019–2022: FA Cup win and departure[edit]

On 11 August 2019, Aubameyang scored his and Arsenal’s first goal of the season in their 1–0 opening match victory over Newcastle United at St James’ Park, in which he demonstrated perfect technique to cushion a cross from Ainsley Maitland-Niles, to slot the ball past Martin Dúbravka, with José Mourinho hailing the strike as «a moment of genius».[65][66] Aubameyang scored his first home goal of the campaign in Arsenal’s next game, a 2–1 win over Burnley on 17 August. Aubameyang scored what turned out to be the winning goal, following an assist from Dani Ceballos.[67] Aubameyang scored his first European goal of the season on 19 September against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League, as Arsenal won 3–0 away from home on matchday 1.[68]

Aubameyang’s five goals in September, including equalizers against Tottenham and Manchester United and the winner against Aston Villa, saw him named the Premier League Player of the Month, beating the likes of Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold, Tottenham’s Son Heung-min and Manchester City duo Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez to the award.[69] On 5 November 2019, after Granit Xhaka was stripped of the Arsenal captaincy following his angry reaction to getting booed by the Arsenal supporters during their Premier League game against Crystal Palace,[70] head coach Unai Emery confirmed that Aubameyang would take over as the new Arsenal captain.[71]

On 1 December, following the dismissal of Emery, Aubameyang scored both goals in Arsenal’s eventual 2–2 draw with Norwich City in interim head coach Freddie Ljungberg’s first game in charge. Aubameyang’s first goal (a penalty) had to be retaken, after VAR discovered there to be encroachment in the penalty area. Aubameyang’s first effort was kept out by goalkeeper Tim Krul, however, his second effort (the same side as his previous attempt), was successfully converted.[72]

Aubameyang scored in Arsenal’s 1–1 draw with Crystal Palace on 11 January 2020, but was also sent off for a late challenge on Palace midfielder Max Meyer. Aubameyang was originally given a yellow card for the tackle by referee Paul Tierney, however the card was eventually upgraded to a red card, by the VAR, resulting in Aubameyang’s first-ever red card for the Gunners and would mean that the striker would miss Arsenal’s next three matches against Sheffield United, Chelsea, and Arsenal’s FA Cup tie against Bournemouth.[73]

On 27 February, in Arsenal’s Europa League second leg round of 32 match against Olympiacos and with the aggregate score tied at 1–1, Aubameyang’s scissor kick goal in extra time allowed his side to equalize the match and lead the tie on aggregate. However, following a 119th-minute goal by Olympiacos that meant Arsenal would be heading out of the competition, Aubameyang missed an open shot from five yards out in the last seconds of the match that would have seen his side through.[74] Following Arsenal’s elimination, Aubameyang apologized for and lamented his miss, stating, «I feel very, very bad. It can happen but I do not know how I missed this chance. I was tired, I had some cramps but it is not an excuse.»[75]

Following the resumption of the league in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Aubameyang did not score or assist in the first three Premier League games after the restart for Arsenal, but eventually netted a brace on 1 July against Norwich City in a 4–0 rout. Aubameyang’s first goal was his 50th in the league for Arsenal, making him the quickest player to reach 50 goals for the club in the Premier League era, having achieved the feat in just 79 league appearances, four games quicker than all-time club goalscorer Thierry Henry, and also became the sixth fastest to 50 in the Premier League, behind Andy Cole, Alan Shearer, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Fernando Torres and Mohamed Salah.[76] Aubameyang also assisted the Gunners’ second goal, which was scored by Granit Xhaka.[77] He ended the season with 22 league goals, one behind Jamie Vardy, the winner of the Golden Boot, and tied with Danny Ings for second place.[78]

On 18 July, in their FA Cup semi-final against defending champions Manchester City, Aubameyang scored both goals in a 2–0 win for Arsenal, sending them to the final.[79] On 1 August, he converted a penalty and scored the winner in the final, as Arsenal defeated Chelsea 2–1 and Aubameyang lifted his first trophy with the club, becoming the first African to win the FA Cup as a captain.[80][81]

On 29 August 2020, Aubameyang scored a goal in normal time and the fifth and winning penalty in a shoot-out win against Liverpool in the Community Shield, after the game ended 1–1.[82] On 12 September, he scored in the first league game of the new season the final goal of a 3–0 win away to Fulham.[83] On 15 September, Aubameyang signed a new three-year contract with Arsenal.[84] On 1 November, he scored a penalty in a 1–0 away win against Manchester United, to grant Arsenal their first Premier League win at Old Trafford since 2006.[85]

Aubameyang scored two goals for Arsenal in their 3–0 victory over Newcastle United on 18 January 2021.[86] However, he did not play in the club’s next three matches, in order to tend to his ill mother.[87] On 14 February, Aubameyang scored his first Premier League hat-trick in a 4–2 win over Leeds United. This took him to 200 career goals across Europe’s top five leagues.[88] On 25 February, he scored two goals against Benfica in a 3–2 win to secure a place in the Europa League round of 16.[89] On 14 March, Aubameyang was left out of the starting line up in the North London Derby against Tottenham, the manager citing disciplinary reasons.

On matchday 16 of the 2021–22 season, Aubameyang was omitted from the squad for Arsenal’s match against Southampton, with manager Mikel Arteta yet again citing disciplinary reasons.[90] Three days later, Aubameyang was stripped of the captaincy.[91] On 1 February 2022, Arsenal announced Aubameyang’s departure from the club by mutual consent.[92]

Barcelona[edit]

On 2 February 2022, Barcelona reached an agreement for Aubameyang to join the club. Aubameyang signed a contract until 30 June 2025 with an option to agree departure on 30 June 2023.[93] The deal also included a buyout clause of €100 million (£83.4 million).[94] Aubameyang made his debut for Barcelona on 6 February 2022, coming on as a substitute in a 4–2 win over Atlético Madrid.[95] On 20 February, he scored his first competitive goals in his fourth match for Barcelona, scoring a hat-trick in a 4–1 away win at Mestalla Stadium over Valencia in a man of the match performance.[96][97] On 20 March 2022 Aubameyang scored a brace and assisted Ferran Torres in his first El Clásico helping Barcelona to a 4–0 away victory against the league leaders.[98]

Chelsea[edit]

On 2 September 2022, Chelsea announced the signing of Aubameyang to join the club on a two-year contract.[99] Barcelona confirmed the fee was €12 million (£10.3 million).[100] Aubameyang made his Chelsea debut on 6 September, after being named a starter in a 1–0 Champions League defeat to Dinamo Zagreb.[101] On 1 October, he made his league debut for the club and scored his first goal in a 2-1 away win against Crystal Palace.[102]

International career[edit]

Aubameyang was invited to play for Italy U19s after a good season with Dijon, but he debuted for the France under-21 team in February 2009 in a friendly match against Tunisia U21.[103]

Aubameyang was also eligible to play for Spain because he has Spanish nationality. He decided to represent Gabon because his father once captained the team, but he maintains close relationship with Spain and expressed a desire to play in La Liga prior to signing for FC Barcelona.[104][105]

On 25 March 2009, Aubameyang was selected for the Gabon national team[106] and made his debut for the squad. He scored his first goal in a 2–1 victory over Morocco, then scored a goal each in friendly matches against Benin, Togo, Algeria and Senegal.[107]

Aubameyang was a key member of the Gabon national side that reached the quarter-finals of the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations as co-hosts of the competition. He netted three goals in total, finishing the tournament as one of the top scorers. On 5 February 2012, he set up the opening goal for his team and hit the post in the quarter-final against Mali. However, the match ended 1–1 after extra time and Aubameyang had his penalty saved in the shootout to decide the game.[108]

In July 2012, Aubameyang represented Gabon at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. He scored in the team’s opening game against Switzerland, which was Gabon’s first-ever Olympic goal, and would also prove to be Gabon’s only goal of the tournament. They were eliminated in the group stage.[109]

On 15 June 2013, Aubameyang scored a hat-trick of penalty kicks in Gabon’s 4–1 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying win over Niger. He then scored a brace against Burkina Faso in the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations Qualification.[citation needed]

Aubameyang captained Gabon at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, scoring the team’s opening goal of the tournament in their 2–0 win over Burkina Faso on 17 January 2015.[110] He also scored a brace against Mali on 25 March 2015. He is Gabon’s highest goalscorer. He rejected a callup for a pivotal World Cup qualifier at home to the Ivory Coast, which they lost 3–0.[111]

On 25 March 2021, Aubameyang captained Gabon to a 3–0 win at home to DR Congo, scoring the third goal to ensure qualification to the African Cup of Nations to be staged in Cameroon.[112] In that time, he contracted malaria, in which he got a fever and had to be hospitalized.[113]

On 6 January 2022, Aubameyang tested positive for COVID-19 before Gabon’s first game in the African Cup of Nations.[114] Aubameyang withdrew from the tournament a few days later to undergo further medical examinations in England after being diagnosed with heart lesions.[115]

On 18 May 2022, Aubameyang announced his retirement from international football.[116] He made a total of 72 appearances for the Gabon national team and scored 30 goals.[117]

Media[edit]

Aubameyang was involved in the Amazon Original sports docuseries All or Nothing: Arsenal, which documented the club by spending time with the coaching staff and players behind the scenes both on and off the field throughout their 2021–22 season.[118][119]

Produced by Fulwell 73, FIFA released Captains in 2022, an eight-part sports docuseries following six national team captains in their respective 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification campaigns.[120] Aubameyang, representing Gabon, starred alongside Thiago Silva (Brazil), Luka Modrić (Croatia), Andre Blake (Jamaica), Hassan Maatouk (Lebanon) and Brian Kaltak (Vanuatu).[120] It was released by Netflix and also shown on FIFA’s own streaming platform, FIFA+.[121]

Irina если брать простой транслит а не перевод имени на английский…

Ответ от Simpatic segrifice[гуру]
может быть, дело в том, что везде твое имя пишется по разному…. у нас допустим в государстве есть разница, Irina ты или Irīna. Это два разных имени

Ответ от Алексей Репетитор[новичек]
Irina Экспертно.

Ответ от Moonchild[гуру]
Irene — англ
Irina — рус
P.S.: например, у меня на банковской карте стоит «TATYANA» , а в загранпаспорте «TATIANA», но, когда я спросила будут ли у меня проблемы с получением денег за границей, то мне ответили, что такие мелкие расхождения в написании не имеют значения, и что часто те, кто делает загранпаспорта ошибаются.
Но лучше Вам узнать, стоит ли менять документы по образцу написания имени (как в паспорте) или не стоит.
Всего доброго — удачи!

Ответ от Марина Олейник[гуру]
правильно писать Irene, это английский вариант написания этого имени (оно существует не только в русском, но и в испанском, португальском (Ирэна, Иренэ) , английском (Ирэн, Айрин) языках). в паспорте у вас написан русский вариант написания этого имени.

Есть вариант yeaow. А то что написали другие, у негров-рэпперов лишь сокращение от your: yo mama =your mama (momma), так же как ho это у них сокращение от whore, на конце R негры обычно не говорят, как англичане: mother=mutha, nigger=nigga

Биография

Известный габонский футболист Пьер-Эмерик Обамеянг признан одним из лучших форвардов европейских национальных первенств. Главная «фишка» спортсмена заключается в скорости передвижений по полю, он моментально читает игру и отлично бьет головой и уже не раз демонстрировал свои особенности во время важных матчей.

Детство и юность

Биография будущего футболиста началась в парижском городе Лаваль летом 1989 года. Мальчик рос в семье габонских переселенцев, поэтому сложно сказать, кто он по национальности. Его будущее было предрешено уже в детстве, поскольку он стал продолжением династии именитых спортсменов. Отец мальчика Пьер известен как защитник сборной Габона, в 1980-е годы он переехал во Францию и стал выступать за французские клубы, а карьеру завершил лишь в 2002-м, устроившись скаутом «Милана».

Известность отца открывала для сыновей возможность играть за разные команды, мужчина поддерживал мальчиков в их любви к футболу. Старшие братья Обамеянга выступали за итальянский ФК «Милан», один из них и вовсе защищал цвета Габона в сборной до 2007 года.

Впервые выйти на поле Пьеру-Эмерику довелось в 6-летнем возрасте, мальчик сразу понял, что в этом его призвание, поэтому все детство тренировался. В школе он учился хорошо, но в 15 лет бросил, так как предпочел тратить это время на личные занятия с тренером.

Клубная карьера

В юношеской карьере Обамеянга были команды «Лаваль», «Бастия», «Ницца», «Руан» и другие. А в 18 лет он присоединился к молодежке «Милана» и почти сразу стал показывать отличные результаты. В юношеском Кубке чемпионов футболист сыграл 6 матчей, в ходе которых забил 7 голов. Молодого человека заметили представители других клубов, что и поспособствовало его переходу в новую команду.

Сначала игрок перешел на правах аренды в клуб второго дивизиона «Дижон», но провел там только 1 сезон, за который успел выйти на поле 39 раз и 10 раз отправить мяч в ворота противников. Так как контракт с итальянским «Миланом» еще продолжал действовать, на сезон 2009/2010 спортсмена снова сдали в аренду, на этот раз во французский «Лилль».

Там первый мяч Обамеянг забил в игре против «Монако», затем участвовал еще в 23 играх и принес команде только 1 гол. Техничной игрой спортсмена заинтересовались в «Монако», впоследствии здесь футболист тоже выступал 1 сезон, который окончил с двумя голами.

Зато следующие 3 года нападающего ждали выступления за французский ФК «Сент-Этьен». С этим клубом Пьер-Эмерик подписал долгосрочный контракт. Парень быстро выбился в основной состав, правда, дебютный год стал для игрока менее удачным, чего не скажешь о двух следующих сезонах, принесших первые серьезные трофеи.

В 2013 году немецкая «Боруссия» выкупила талантливого спортсмена у «Милана», и следующие 5 сезонов, до 2018 года, форвард выступал за Дортмунд. За 213 игр, проведенных за 5 лет, Пьер-Эмерик забил 121 гол. Ярким выдался сезон 2015/2016, когда нападающий установил рекорд Бундеслиги по количеству мячей, посланных в ворота соперников.

Каждый, кто видел выступления Пьера-Эмерика, отмечает его ловкость и скорость, притом что рост и вес и игрока не самые маленькие — 187 см и 80 кг.

В начале 2018-го за € 64 млн игрока выкупил лондонский «Арсенал», поэтому сезон нападающий заканчивал уже в новом составе, где стал выступать под номером 14. Впервые на поле Обамеянг вышел в матче против «Эвертона» и принес коллективу 4-й по счету гол. В сезоне 2017/2018 Пьер-Эмерик забил еще 9 мячей, а в следующем — 31.

В 2019-м Обамеянг остался в стане «канониров». В мае того года нападающий выступил в самом важном матче за свою карьеру в «Арсенале» — финале Лиги Европы, который проходил в Баку. К сожалению, Пьеру-Эмерику не удалось отличиться в этой игре, а его команда уступила принципиальному сопернику — лондонскому «Челси» — со счетом 1 : 4.

В следующем году футболист продолжил демонстрировать неплохие результаты, что позволил Обамеянгу подписать с «Арсеналом» новый контракт до 2023 года. В начале 2021-го игрок забил 2 гола в ворота «Ньюкасла», что обеспечило «канонирам» победу со счетом 3 : 0. Однако следующие матчи нападающий пропустил, так как на время покидал клуб из-за болезни матери. Вернувшись, Пьер-Эмерик помог своими голами перейти команде в 1/8 финала Лиги Европы.

Однако, несмотря на такие заслуги, футболист в скором времени по решению тренера команды Микеля Артеты пересел на скамейку запасных. А позднее Обамеянга не включили в состав «канониров» на встречу с «Саутгемптоном». Артета сообщил в интервью, что это обусловлено плохой дисциплиной игрока. На этом череда неудач в карьере Пьера-Эмерика не закончилась — габонца лишили повязки капитана.

Сборная Габона

Прекрасно отыграв сезон в «Дижоне», футболист был приглашен в молодежную сборную Италии (возраст до 19 лет), но решил отказаться от предложения. Вместо этого нападающий попробовал силы в молодежной сборной Франции (возраст до 21 года). А позднее, в 2009-м, впервые сыграл за национальную команду Габона.

Пьер-Эмерик быстро занял в сборной место ключевого игрока и помог ей достичь четвертьфинала Кубка африканских наций в 2012-м. На этом турнире футболист отправил в ворота соперников 3 мяча, что позволило ему получить статус лучшего бомбардира. Но в следующем этапе Обамеянг не смог забить пенальти, из-за чего команда выбыла из турнирной сетки. Летом 2012-го нападающий оказался в составе сборной Габона на лондонских Олимпийских играх.

Через год спортсмен показал впечатляющую игру в отборочном этапе на чемпионат мира – 2014, однако команде в итоге не удалось попасть на соревнование. На Кубке Африки – 2015 Пьер-Эмерик выступал в качестве капитана. Карьера в сборной продолжилась и в последующие годы.

Личная жизнь

Сейчас о личной жизни именитого футболиста мало что известно. Однако поклонники знают о свадьбе спортсмена, которую тот сыграл со своей подругой детства Алишей. В 2011 году жена подарила ему сына, первенца назвали Кертисом. А в 2016 году семья вновь пополнилась, второй мальчик получил имя в честь отца — Пьер.

Пьер-Эмерик Обамеянг сейчас

В начале 2022 года в прессе появилась информация о том, что «Арсенал» расторг контракт с Обамеянгом, занимавшим пост капитана команды. Ранее футболист покидал клуб, чтобы перевезти в Англию заболевшую мать, и задержался в пути. Это стало началом темной полосы в сотрудничестве Пьера-Эмерика с «канонирами», несмотря на хорошую статистику.

Но талантливый игрок не остался вне спорта — габонца на правах свободного агента сразу пригласила испанская «Барселона». После этого по Сети разлетелись фото, запечатлевшие нападающего на тренировке с новой командой. По данным, опубликованным вскоре, зарплата спортсмена в каталонском ФК составила € 5 тыс. в неделю. В составе команды за 24 игры Обамеянг забил 13 голов.

В августе 2022-го Пьер-Эмерик подписал контракт сроком на 2 года с ФК «Челси», отметив, что это большая честь для него.
