Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Arsenal: Gabon team-mate Daniel Cousin backs Borussia Dortmund star for Gunners



Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang should join Arsenal to link-up with Mesut Özil, the Premier League assist record-breaker, according to his international team-mate Daniel Cousin.
The Gabonese Borussia Dortmund striker is rumoured to be considering his options at the Westfalenstadion, promting reports linking him with a lucrative switch to England.
Aubameyang, 26, scored 39 goals in all competitions last season to fire Dortmund up to second in the Bundesliga, restoring their place in the Champions League in the process.
Despite chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke branding the speculation as “all nonsense” it is reported that Arsenal and Manchester United retain an interest in the powerful forward.
Quizzed on who Aubameyang should join if indeed he does elect to leave, Cousin told theBBC World Service: “Arsenal, because the team play very well but the team need another striker to win the title. 
“And I think if he plays with Mesut Özil, he will give good assists. I think he can play very well with this team.”
Upon agreeing new a new five-year contract at Dortmund 12 months ago, Aubameyang said: “It was not for nothing that I prolonged my contract until 2020. It was a conscious decision. 
“I can even imagine staying here for longer, even though I would like to play in Spain one day. “In football, however, you never really know what will happen. 
“Fundamentally, I feel so good here that I could not imagine a nicer place for me right now.”
