Rivaldo advises Barcelona against the signing of Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: report

Barcelona legend Rivaldo believes his former club should decline the option to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Arsenal during the next transfer window.

The Catalan giants are planning a new striker addition during the off-season and they have been credited with an interest in Aubameyang, who is approaching the final year of his Gunners contract.

The Gabon international has been a consistent performer over the past nine years and he has contributed a sublime tally of 243 goals and 74 assists from 407 appearances in all competitions.

Despite the glowing statistics, Rivaldo feels Aubameyang may not suit the Blaugrana’s style of play and the board should not purchase any player without the recommendation of the manager.
