Arsenal and the gamble named Aubameyang
(Baonghean.vn) - According to information from the Mirror, Arsenal almost owned the Gabonese striker this January.
First of all, it must be admitted that Aubameyang is the most dangerous assassin in the Bundesliga at the moment. What the 28-year-old star has done at Signal Iduna Park in the past 2-3 seasons (top scorer in Bundesliga 2016/2017) is enough to help him catch the eye of many famous teams outside of Germany.
Winning Aubameyang's signature, Arsenal's attacking strength will theoretically be significantly increased.
In the current situation, the Gunners are facing the risk of losing their number 1 star, Sanchez. Coach Wenger’s task is to quickly bring another world-class star to the Emirates Stadium to replace the Chilean player, in order to achieve the team’s goals (such as a position in the TOP 4 of the Premier League this season).
In theory, Arsenal's Aubameyang deal is worth looking forward to.

However, there is always a gap between theory and reality. Specifically, Aubameyang's ability to shine at Emirates Stadium is still a big question mark.
It cannot be assumed that the Gabonese striker who excelled at Dortmund and the Bundesliga will naturally excel at Arsenal and the Premier League. There may not be much difference between Arsenal and Dortmund, but there is still a large gap between the Premier League and the Bundesliga.
In the past, there were many stars who "made waves" in Serie A, Bundesliga, Lique 1... but when they moved to a new environment, the Premier League, they quickly disappeared. Typical examples include Shevchenko (AC Milan transferred to Chelsea), Giroud (Montpellier transferred to Arsenal) or Schweinsteiger (Bayern Munich transferred to Man Utd)... It is not without reason that the Premier League is known as "the fiercest tournament on the planet".
That said, the possibility of Aubameyang losing himself at Arsenal is extremely high. Being "wet behind the ears" in a new environment, having to compete for a position with "old ghosts" like Lacazette, Welbeck... the risk of the Gabonese striker following in the "footsteps" of Shevchenko, Schweinsteiger... is not small. Therefore, Arsenal recruiting Aubameyang (if any) still has a high potential risk.

Not to mention, the striker currently playing for Dortmund is a temperamental player. Recently, Aubameyang has skipped practice many times, rebelled... causing the Ruhr team to fall into a miserable situation.
A few days ago, the star born in 1989 arbitrarily skipped a team meeting, forcing coach Peter Stoger to remove him from the lineup for the Dortmund - Wolfsburg match (0 - 0). Bringing Aubameyang back, the Emirates dressing room will face unpredictable dangers.
With recent moves at Dortmund, the prospect of Aubameyang playing for Arsenal is quite clear. Whether the Gabonese player will become a successful contract at Emirates Stadium or not, we will have to wait for the answer of time.
Anyway, coach Wenger should try his luck with the gamble named Aubameyang rather than stand by and watch Arsenal continue to sink deeper into crisis./.
