REVEALED: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang opens up why he left Dortmund for Arsenal in the middle of last season

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is in a queue among top players to take a run at the Premier League Golden Boot this season. The Gabonese forward scored 10 goals in 13 Premier League appearances for Arsenal, having netted 21 in 25 for the German giants during the first half of the campaign in the Bundesliga. Speaking to ESPN, the striker revealed why he joined the north Londoners in January of last season. He said: "It was beneficial for me to arrive at Arsenal last January so I had six months to get used to the league, the country, the culture so I could be ready for my first full season. "It was not easy at the beginning six months ago. It was such a big change. It was hard to find the rhythm, especially physically. But this time, I am ready. I am really feeling good. "Collectively, we want to play every competition to the maximum. We can't hide. It would be great to end the season with one or more trophies. The league is obviously the priority because it has been a while since Arsenal won it. "It will be complicated, though, and we know that. Personally, I want to contribute as much as possible with goals and assists. I don't have a figure in mind but I really [think] it will be a very good season like the ones I had in the past at Dortmund."
