“He scores a lot of goals, he has a very good physique and a lot of speed. It’s very rare, because he’s very big, but he runs a lot. It’s incredible,” the Gabon forward continued.
“For his age, he is already one of the best in the world,” concluded Aubameyang.
Aubameyang scored a hatrick for Barcelona over the past weekend in their 4-2 win against Valencia.
