1. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

“If I want to go to the next level, I need to leave in summer,” the Gabonese striker said, via the Independent.

Just ignore the second part about how playing for Real Madrid would be a dream. Even though that is something serious that we need to consider. I’m going to live in a fantasy and ignore it.

Aubameyang has finally opened the door to his own exit and Arsenal have to be there with the Manchester City’s and the Liverpool’s who are inevitably going to go after him. Aubameyang is a ruthless killer of the opposing net who never stops scoring. His blazing speed and unbelievable levels of athleticism would go insanely well with Danny Welbeck.

Just take a moment to dream about that combination. Because I am as I write.

The cost would be astronomical, but so too was Dennis Bergkamp’s when Bruce Rioch landed him. I think that worked out okay.

Sometimes spending a lot of money is the best way to ensure an upgrade. Aubameyang is an upgrade and it would be a sure win to invite him to play alongside Alexis and Welbeck and the longball experts of Ozil and Xhaka.
