‘Neymar or Aguero wouldn’t give up a penalty’ – Aubameyang is Arsenal’s ‘absolute team player’, says Mislintat

The Gunners’ former head of recruitment, who helped to take the Gabonese striker to north London, has saluted the qualities he brings to any team

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been billed as the “absolute team player” by Sven Mislintat, with the Arsenal striker considered to boast qualities that the likes of Neymar and Sergio Aguero do not.

The Gabonese has always been a prolific presence, with his efforts in France and Germany for the likes of Saint-Etienne and Borussia Dortmund showcasing undoubted ability.

Arsenal are now the ones benefiting from that skill set, with former head of recruitment Mislintat having helped to take him to the Emirates Stadium in January 2018.
