3 reasons Everton should go all out for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

He could transform their season

Everton will hope that new manager Sam Allardyce can get the club back on track.

The club made an awful start to the season that cost Ronald Koeman his job. They were in the relegation zone in November. And they’ll finish bottom of their Europa League group unless they win their final game.

But things are starting to look up now. The club have moved up to tenth after two successive league wins.

There’s still plenty of work to be done though. The club badly need a striker to replace Romelu Lukaku.

The Toffees have recently been linked with Borussia Dortmund’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who could be just what they need.

He won’t be cheap, but there’s a 5/1 chance that he moves to Goodison Park. Here are three reasons they should make a big push to bring him in…

Goals, goals, goals

Lukaku scored 26 goals in all competitions last season. After him, Everton’s top scorer was Ross Barkley with just six goals.

Wayne Rooney leads the way with eight goals this term, while Niasse has five. Neither of those players look like an ideal solution up front though.

Rooney’s best days are behind him, while Niasse is a willing worker but not top quality. There’s also Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who’s still too young to rely on. And Sandro Ramirez arrived in the summer but has made little impact.

Aubameyang would almost guarantee goals. He’s excelled at the top level during his time at Dortmund. He beat Robert Lewandowski to be the Bundesliga’s top scorer last season (31 goals). The 28-year-old scored a brace against Real Madrid on Wednesday too.
