Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

[SPIDERBOY]

Quite a few of the "sources" on News Now are putting a £70m price tag on this kids head????

47 games, 40 goals and 5 assists in one season would do that nowadays. Haven't seen much of him but that scoring record speaks for itself

Haven't seen much of him either,hence the question marks,but yeah,that's some record.

11 goals in the Europa league(3 in qualifiers & 8 in proper) boosts those stats up significantly. And i'd forget them in the grand scheme of his valuation as everyone scores loads in it.

He's a £25mil striker at most.

I only counted his 8 goals in actual competition of the europa league and I think there is 50+ teams that start off in the group stages, only 12 players ended up with more than 5 goals. I'm not saying he's a £70m player, but he's definitely not a £25m.

I'd see him at ~£40m value, but don't see Dortmund letting him go for below ~£60m, mainly because they're losing all their best players as it is - if he were to leave as well they'll be damn sure wanting to get an over payment.

Then where did you get 40 goals from? 25 league + 3 cup + 8 euro = 36....His goals for Gabon?

Anyway here's the top scorers in the last 10 years of the Europa League

Matias Delgado - 9
Pavel Pognebrak & Luca Toni - 10
Vagner Love - 11
Oscar Cardozo & Cladio Pizarro - 9
Falcao - 17
Falcao - 12
Libor Kozak - 8
Jonathan Soriano - 8
Alan & Lukaku - 8
Aduriz - 10

Europa league just makes average players look better than they are mainly due to the vast diffence in quality between the decent teams in it and the rest. Of the 5 from that list to play in this league only Lukaku has succeeded(though he was already here), the rest(Pognebrak, Pizarro, Falcao & Kozak) all flopped.
See how Aubameyang fairs in the champions league before sticking him with a price tag that'll get you actual world class players.

Fair enough mate, I can see where you're coming from now.. looks like a pretty good technical and pacey player though, wouldn't mind him here.

I think we are going to find this summer that 25 million will get you relatively little, certainly not a player who has scored 54 goals in 94 appearances in the league for Dortmund and has a very good reputation.

Agreed, £25m is chump change. Football is awash with cash, even championship clubs are paying over £10m for players so there will be a lot of premier league and top european clubs paying way over £10m for players.
