Manchester City have started their campaign in the Premier League this term in a steady fashion, having won two of their three matches played so far against Brighton and Bournemouth and ending their second match in a hard fought 1-1 draw against Everton. They are now looking to continue getting more positive results in the pursuit of glory this season.
The man in charge at the Etihad Stadium, Pep Guardiola, however, has been sceptical about his striker force and is looking to add to the firepower of his team before the closure of the transfer window. The Spaniard is looking forward to strengthening his attacking options and has his eyes on Gabonese international Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is currently playing for the German Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund.
The 28 y28-year-old been a major threat to the other sides in the Bundesliga as well as their European rivals over the last few seasons since his arrival at the Westfalenstadion in 2013. He has been a prolific striker for his club and has added immensely to their firepower, which includes top class players like Mario Gotze and Marco Reus.
Aubameyang is one of the most successful marksmen in the Bundesliga in the recent times, having notched up 126 goals in 193 matches for his side so far. This has attracted the attention of a number of top clubs who want to bag him for the new season including Manchester City.
He can be lethal in the air as well as on the ground, scoring from both set piece situations and open play. The 28 year old is a prized possession for his club and has shown great composure throughout his tenure so far to provide Dortmund with a lot of positive results, including the much desired accolade of the highest goal scorer in the last season in Bundesliga.
Manchester City, who have got a number of good strikers in their side already, are willing to make their side even stronger this term. They are making efforts to eradicate the loopholes that made them finish last season without silverware and are looking forward to having a triumphant season both in the Premier League as well as in the European circuit.
The inclusion of a player like Aubameyang can be a major boost for the Citizens in the new season, as they are already showing their intent to achieve substantial results in the last few matches they have played so far in the Premier League. So do they need Aubameyang?
