Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (born 18 June 1989) is a Gabonese-French football player who currently plays for French club Saint-Étienne in Ligue 1. Aubameyang also represents the Gabon at international level.
[edit] Club career
Aubameyang joined the AC Milan youth team in January 2007. In August, he was part of the squad that finished fourth in the inaugural Champions Youth Cup held in Malaysia and was awarded the Roberto Bettega Trophy for being the top scorer. He scored seven goals in six matches.[1]
For the 2008–09 season, Aubameyang was loaned out to Dijon, in order to gain some first team experience.[2] His performances there led him to appear in World Soccer's Talent Scout section in Summer 2009.[3]
On 24 June 2009, it was announced Ligue 1 club Lille had decided to sign Aubameyang on loan.[4] In the following season, he was loaned again, this time to Monaco. Aubameyang scored his first ever goal for them on 21 August 2010 in away match versus RC Lens. He would score again on 29 August at home to AJ Auxerre where his Monaco team won 2-0.[5] After six months at Monaco, Aubameyang was loaned to AS Saint-Étienne in January 2011 until the end of this season. In July 2011, the loan was extended for the entire 2011–12 season. On 22 December 2011, Aubameyang signed with Saint-Étienne on a permanent deal.
[edit] International career
Aubameyang was invited to play for Italy U-19s after a good season with Dijon, but he debuted for the France U-21 team in February 2009 in a friendly match against Tunisia.[6] He was selected for the Gabon national football team on 25 March 2009[7] and made his debut for the team. He scored his first goal in a 2–1 victory over Morocco.
