Under coach Unai Emery, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the player with the most obvious progress. Despite Arsenal's poor form, the Gabon striker has scored 19 Premier League goals so far this season. He is currently leading the list of blockers in the English top flight with two other strikers, Sergio Aguero (Man City) and Mohamed Salah (Liverpool). These 3 strikers make the race for the Golden Boot in the Premier League attractive in the final rounds.
However, if we consider the correlation between goals and opportunities, Aubameyang has not met coach Unai Emery's expectations. If he finishes better, the Arsenal striker could have a very strong breakthrough in the Premier League's top scorer race this season.
Specifically, according to Sportmail statistics, up to round 35 of the Premier League, Aubameyang has wasted a total of 20 clear scoring opportunities in the Premier League this season, more than any other player.
Bournemouth's Callum Wilson came in second with 18 times, making fans "happy to miss". This is a big surprise because this player has been in good form this season and has also been called up to the England team. If he had taken advantage of the opportunity more carefully, his number of goals would not have stopped at 12. The next positions are Gabriel Jesus (Man City - 17 times), Mohamed Salah (Liverpool - 15 times), Jamie Vardy (Le Leicester - 15 times), Marcus Rashford ( Man Utd - 14 times) and Romelu Lukaku ( Man Utd - 14 times).
In the compensation match for round 31 of the Premier League in the early morning of April 25, Aubameyang was not in the Arsenal squad due to a Tuong problem. As a result, the Gunners easily lost 1-3 to Wolves. After the match, coach Unai Emery did not dare to promise to use Aubameyang in the match against Leicester this weekend.
In the Premier League this season, in addition to 19 goals, Aubameyang has also 5 assists. If counting in all competitions, he has scored 24 goals for the Gunners. This is one of the rare bright spots that coach Unai Emery has built at the Emirates since taking over the Arsenal hot seat in the summer of 2018. Previously, in the 2017-18 season, the Gabon striker only scored 10 goals for the North London team.
