AS Saint-Etienne secured a valuable point in a 2-2 draw against Rennes, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang contributing with the second goal. The Gabonese international’s outstanding performances in February earned him the title of “Player of the Month.” With eight goals in the last seven matches, Aubameyang’s form has been exceptional, propelling Saint-Etienne to 4th place in the standings. Currently with 16 goals, he is a strong contender for the Ligue 1 top scorer title, closely trailing Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Despite the success with Saint-Etienne, it seems likely that Aubameyang will leave the club in the upcoming transfer window. While rumors suggest interest from English club Newcastle, the Gabonese striker remains focused on enjoying his time with Saint-Etienne. When asked about the possibility of leaving, Aubameyang acknowledged the potential challenges for the club to retain him but left the door open, stating, “We’ll see what happens next. I said it was going to be complicated for the club to keep me next summer, afterward if there is the Champions League… We will think about it.”
