Big spending Paris St Germain are favourites to beat English giants Chelsea, Arsenal and Newcastle to the signing of highly-rated African forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The 23-year-old Gabon international currently plies his trade with Ligue 1 club St Etienne but has expressed his desire to ‘join a top club’.
Unfortunately for his English admirers, Aubameyang appears to have his heart set on a move within France as he fancies playing in the capital alongside Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovich.
‘I am ready to join a top club,’ Aubameyang said. ‘PSG? Of course an eventual offer would be really interesting, but I don’t know if they are really tracking me. We will see. In any case it would be nice to play alongside Ibrahimovich.’
Newcastle owner Mike Ashley has not been put off by Aubameyang’s wishes to join PSG, however, and was reportedly in the stands when he played for St Etienne in a 2-2 draw with the Parisians on Sunday night.
Aubameyang has scored 17 times this season with eight goals in his last eight games, making him one of the hottest young talents in European football.
