German football expert Lee Price has tipped Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to replace Chelsea wantaway Diego Costa.
Costa, 28, had a bust up with Blues boss Antonio Conte last week after having his head turned by huge-money offers from the Chinese Super League, and Price believes Aubameyang is precisely the man to replace to wayward Spaniard.
Price, who wrote best-selling book “?The Bundesliga Blueprint, told the “?Daily Star that the Gabon striker would ‘fit in perfectly in England.’
“?”Dortmund forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the Bundesliga’s shining light, and has been coveted by the Premier League’s biggest sides for the last 18 months.” he said.
“The Gabon sensation would fit in perfectly in England “? he combines raw athleticism, of his blistering pace and impressive strength, with the technique and class of a top, top frontman.
Leading by example…

“He can be deployed wide or through the middle, and has more than a hint of the Thierry Henry about him.
“You can see why Liverpool would be interested, but they won’t be the only outfit offering him a move to the Premier League.
“At Manchester United, he could form a dynamite frontline alongside Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford, packed with speed and skill.

“While, at Chelsea, he would be able to interchange with Eden Hazard, Willian and Pedro, rendering stroppy striker Diego Costa effectively redundant.”?
Although the 27-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Bayern Munich, Chelsea or Man Utd, Price believes that his style of play is actually more suited to Arsenal, who he says have been missing a classy forward for years.
“It is at Arsenal where he’d slot in easiest “? as the classy forward they’ve missed for years, really providing ammunition for the Gunners.” He added. “Quite whether Arsene Wenger would be prepared to engage in the arms race to sign him, though, is another matter.”?
