Pierre-Emerick Emiliano François Aubameyang (born 18 June 1989) is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for Ligue 1 club Marseille and Gabon national team.
Aubameyang began his senior club career by signing for AC Milan in Italy, but never made an appearance for the club, instead going on a series of loan spells in France. He transferred to Saint-Étienne in 2011. There he won a Coupe de la Ligue title, subsequently joining Borussia Dortmund in 2013. In Germany, Aubameyang finished as the league's top goalscorer in the 2016–17 season and won a DFB-Pokal. He also ranks as the club's eighth-highest all-time goalscorer. In 2018, Aubameyang was the subject of a then–club record association football transfer when he signed for Arsenal in a move worth £56 million (€60 million), making him the most expensive Gabonese player of all time. With Arsenal, he won an FA Cup and finished as the league's joint-top goalscorer in the 2018–19 season. After leaving Arsenal in 2022, Aubameyang had spells with Barcelona and Chelsea before signing for Marseille in 2023. In 2024, he joined Al-Qadsiah in the Saudi Pro League, where he spent a single season, returning to Marseille the next summer.
Born in France, Aubameyang chose to represent Gabon at international level, making his senior debut in 2009 at the age of 19; with 40 goals, he is the nation's all-time top scorer. He represented Gabon at six Africa Cup of Nations tournaments and the 2012 Summer Olympics. In 2015, he was named African Footballer of the Year; the first Gabonese and second European-born player to win the award.
