EA Sports has revealed their team of the season so far and just one Arsenal player made the team that Liverpool’s players understandably dominated.
The Arsenal player who made the list is club captain and the Premier League’s second top scorer this season, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as published by the Mail.
The Gabonese striker has been one of the Premier League’s top players since he joined Arsenal.
Despite the Gunners struggling for form this season, he has been a shining light, and he has scored 17 goals for Mikel Arteta’s side already before the season was suspended.
He won the Golden Boot last season and remains one of the Premier League’s most reliable strikers.
After watching players perform for their team this season, EA Sports announced their current team of the season, based on the performances of the players before the coronavirus outbreak halted the campaign.
Aubameyang featured alongside illustrious names like Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk. The Reds also had Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andrew Robertson, Jordan Henderson and Alisson on the list.
Aubameyang is nearing the end of his current deal at the Emirates and Arsenal are keen to keep hold of him beyond this season.
However, the Gunners have a list of replacements should he decide to leave the Emirates.
Sounds illogical but it’s easier to replace Lacazette and Abameyang than just Abameyang. If both leave we have plenty of options we could explore. Firstly the Lw position, we could move Saka straight into this role from wing back when Tierney is fit or alternatively get an experience player. In the current climate we could explore a deal with palace for Zaha with numerous players like Niles going the other way. RW we can’t really afford to improve and we got to hope one of Pepe or Nelson furfill their potential. Finally cf we have two young capable forwards in Martinelli and Nkietah however a 3rd quality striker wouldn’t go a miss. My two choices for this role Edouare at Celtic and Jovic at Real. Both are young, have experience and further potential and can still be sold for good money if it doesn’t work out.
