Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has embarked on a new chapter in his football career with Al-Qadsiah, marking a significant transition from his previous tenure at Olympique de Marseille. The Gabonese striker, who had a standout season in France, has expressed his enthusiasm for his latest challenge in the Saudi Pro League.
Having excelled with Olympique de Marseille, where he netted 30 goals and provided 11 assists across 51 appearances, Aubameyang’s move to Al-Qadsiah is a notable shift.
The striker, previously associated with high-profile clubs such as Chelsea, Arsenal, and FC Barcelona, is now set to bring his prolific scoring ability to his new team.
In his first comments since joining Al-Qadsiah, Aubameyang conveyed his excitement about the new venture.
“I’m really happy to be here, very excited too. I’m really looking forward to meeting the staff, the team, the players, this beautiful country too,” he shared in an interview with his new club’s official website.
The Gabonese forward is eager to make an impact and has ambitious plans for the upcoming season. Al-Qadsiah is poised to return to the top tier of Saudi football, and Aubameyang is keen to contribute to their success.
He outlined his goals for the 2024-2025 season, stating, “I think we can do even better than last year, and continue the progress already seen.
The goal is to be even more competitive and to increase the level. I want to continue what I have always done in my career, and my life, score goals.
I want to bring my experience to the team and my teammates. I will try to bring my goals and my showman side. I have always been like that. Everyone knows that, I think.”
Aubameyang’s arrival at Al-Qadsiah marks a new adventure in his storied career, which has seen him play across several of Europe’s top leagues, including France, Italy, Germany, England, and Spain.
The striker’s commitment to delivering both goals and a dynamic presence on the field is expected to energize the Saudi side as they aim for greater heights in the league.
As Al-Qadsiah prepares for their upcoming season, Aubameyang’s experience and goal-scoring prowess will be pivotal.
His transition from one of Europe’s competitive leagues to the Saudi Pro League represents a significant move, and the football world will be watching closely to see how he adapts and performs in this new environment.
