Successful return to Spain
Aubameyang scored a goal while taking two shots (one on goal) and creating a chance during Monday's 1-1 draw with Elche.
Analysis: Aubameyang opened the scoring in the 21st minute while leading Deportivo in shots and chances created. The goal was the first for Aubameyang in La Liga since the 2021 season with Barcelona as the well traveled veteran is expected to lead the line for Deportivo when fit.
Completes Deportivo transfer
Aubameyang completed a permanent transfer from Marseille to Deportivo on Friday.
Analysis: Deportivo needed to sign a proven striker in their long-awaited return to LaLiga and got their man in Aubameyang, who scored 13 goals for Marseille between Ligue 1 and UCL play in 2025/26. A player who has performed and delivered in the Premier League, Bundesliga, LaLiga and Ligue 1 in the past, he should be Depor's main attacking threat, where his pace and keen eye for goal should boost an attack that isn't likely to create too many chances on paper.
Scores brillant chip in victory
Aubameyang scored one goal to go with eight shots (six on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-1 victory over Rennes.
Analysis: Aubameyang lifted a delicate chip over Mathys Silistrie in the 55th minute after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's driving run sliced open the Rennes defense, though he also left a few big chances on the table earlier, including a first-half one-on-one and a second-half volley he couldn't put away. He ended the match with a season-high eight shots in 90 minutes and was the main trigger point of Marseille's press, constantly putting Rennes' back line under pressure and forcing repeated mistakes. Aubameyang wraps up the season with 10 goals, five assists, 60 shots, and 26 chances created across 30 Ligue 1 appearances (23 starts).
Back with squad
Aubameyang has returned to full team training Friday and is an option for Sunday's season finale against Rennes, the club posted.
Analysis: Aubameyang had been left out of the Le Havre squad following the fire extinguisher incident during the team's training camp, but the disciplinary matter appears to have been resolved with the veteran striker back in the fold for the final fixture of the season. His availability gives coach Habib Beye another attacking option to call upon against Rennes as Marseille push for European qualification on the final day of the campaign.
Left out of squad
Aubameyang (not injury related) has been excluded from the squad for Sunday's clash against Le Havre by the club's management following an incident during the team's training camp, according to Fabrice Hawkins of RMC Sport.
Analysis: Aubameyang sprayed a member of the club's management with a fire extinguisher during the team's second consecutive training camp imposed following a run of poor results, with the veteran striker paying the price for what started as a prank by being left out of the travelling squad. Club president Stephane Richard and general manager Alban Juster met with the players at the training ground to address the situation, and the decision was made to exclude Aubameyang from Sunday's fixture. Amine Gouiri is expected to step into the starting role in the front line against the Ciel et Marine.
