Neville in awe of “world-class” Aubameyang

Gary Neville has finally recognized one of the best finishers in the Premier League in the last few seasons.

It is none other than Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

“Including me, we have stopped short of announcing Aubameyang as world-class,” Neville said on Sky Sports. “We’re happy to go with Aguero, we’re happy to go with Mane and Salah, Firmino, Kane… all these players who have graced the Premier League in the last two or three seasons.

“I feel that Aubameyang doesn’t get that same credit and maybe it’s something that comes from when he first entered into English football. It was a case of, ‘Why didn’t any of the top clubs want him? How did Arsenal get him? Is there something wrong with him? Why didn’t Klopp take him to Anfield?’ All these questions were being asked. I asked them myself.

“But now we’re talking about a really high level of performance over a couple of years and today, I thought it was a brilliant performance from him. Not just his goals, which he took really well, but also the shift that he put in.”
