Aubameyang's Triumphant Return to Marseille

Olympique Marseille has made headlines by signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the renowned former Arsenal and Chelsea forward, on a free transfer. The Ligue 1 club's announcement on Thursday marks a significant move for both the player and the team.

Aubameyang, after a season in Saudi Arabia, returns to the French football scene. The 36-year-old, who initially joined Marseille in 2023, rejoins his teammates with high hopes following his prolific goal-scoring stint in the previous season.

The Gabon international's contract signing with newly-promoted Al-Qadsiah in July 2024 was short-lived. Terminated earlier this month, Aubameyang's impressive record of 30 goals last season matches a Marseille milestone last achieved by Didier Drogba two decades ago.
