Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is not earning the plaudits his performances deserve, according to former Tottenham striker Peter Crouch.
The Arsenal marksman is in scintillating form this season, leading the Premier League scoring charts with 10 goals.
Although the 29-year-old is clearly highly-rated, there is a feeling that he doesn’t get mentioned in as glowing terms as others.
That’s certainly the opinion of Crouch, who heaped praise on Aubameyang in his column for the Daily Mail:
What I’m struggling to work out about Arsenal’s fantastic run is why Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s on-field brilliance is not being highlighted more.
He’s a striker of the highest calibre and his record since coming to England has been phenomenal.
If Harry Kane, Mohamed Salah or Sergio Aguero had been on a run of 20 goals in 27 games – his second in the 4-2 win over Tottenham was first class – we would be in a hurry to say how great they are, but it feels as if some people aren’t paying attention to Aubameyang.
Aubameyang has been a superb signing for Arsenal since joining from Borussia Dortmund back in January, netting 22 times in just 33 appearances.
He is expected to be right in the mix for the Premier League Golden Boot award at the end of the season, spearheading the Gunners’ top-four challenge.
