Barca have brought in three new strikers in the past winter window, all of whom coincidentally are from the Premier League: Manchester City's Ferran Torres, Wolves' Adama Terraore and Gunners Arsenal's Aubameyang.
Of the three new strikers, the best performer is undoubtedly Aubameyang from Gunners Arsenal. Don't look at Aubameyang, who is 32 years old, but he is not old and has become the best player in Barca's front line in recent times. Counting the last Europa League match against Napoli, Aubameyang has played a total of 5 games since joining Barca, and in 5 games, he has scored 4 goals for Barca, averaging 0 or 8 goals per game, considering that two of them are bench time appearances, we have to admire Aubameyang's unparalleled scoring efficiency.
Scoring four goals in just five games, Aubameyang has become barca's no. 4 scorer, behind Depay, Fati and Luc De Jong. Barca signed the new striker from Arsenal without spending half a cent in the winter window, and it has to be said that Barca really picked up the treasure this time.
Aubameyang's bravery at Barca undoubtedly highlights the unwiseness of his former club Arsenal in employing people. As we all know, before joining Barca, the Gabonese national treasure striker was very depressed in the old arsenal team, under the manager Arteta, he was not trusted, and gradually became the team's chicken rib player.
Data show that in this season's Premier League, Aubameyang has only played 14 games for Arsenal, including 2 off the bench. Compared to previous seasons, Aubameyang has clearly been snubbed by Arsenal. It was because of the frustration of living under Arteta that he chose to defect to Barcelona in the winter window. It turned out that he had given up Arsenal to go to Barca, and he was now in Barca, where he was ready to play and brave, and had gradually become the most powerful striker under Xavi, which was much better than the previous treatment at Arsenal.
And the more Aubameyang performed at Barca, the more I am afraid that Arsenal will regret it. Arsenal's biggest shortcoming at present is the weakness of the front, the last seven games, Arsenal has only scored 5 goals, averaging only 0.7 goals per game, if Aubameyang did not leave the team, arsenal's frontcourt attack is so good? The blame is only on Arsenal manager Arteta for not looking at people and looking away. Barca coach Xavi, on the other hand, picked up a treasure because of Arteta's blind eyes.
