The 20-year-old burst onto the scene last season under Manuel Pellegrini, where he netted 14 times in all competitions, though this campaign he managed just seven as he has fell down the pecking order.

He has had to compete with not only Sergio Aguero, but Gabriel Jesus and Nolito who were brought in by the former Barcelona boss.

Aubameyang meanwhile has been in scintillating form, finding the back of the net 35 times - 27 in the Bundesliga as he has helped his side reach the DFB-Pokal final.
