Gabonese striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang spoke to journalists about the reasons that led him to join OM.

After an anecdotal stint at Chelsea, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang made the decision to relaunch on the side of Olympique de Marseille. A strong choice from the Gabonese international who had no shortage of suitors in Saudi Arabia. But as the former Stéphanois said this Thursday to the media, the president of OM, Pablo Longoria, was able to find the right words to convince him to join Canebière. Add to that, that the Lavallois could not see himself leaving the Old Continent without making an impression one last time.

“Above all, I was convinced by the words of the President, first said the former Gunner. As I said, it was super important for me, especially in the approach. They were very clear, very direct and very honest, I liked that. And I’m a revengeful person, I don’t want to leave Europe before I’ve dotted the i’s. I know it’s not necessarily an easy context, because there are a lot of expectations, but on the contrary, that’s what I like, you have to know how to accept and live with the pressure.Aubameyang added.
