Newly promoted Saudi Pro League side Al Qadsiah has secured the signing of Marseille striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on a two-year contract. The 35-year-old Gabonese forward joins Al Qadsiah after a prolific season in France, where he scored 30 goals in 51 appearances.
Aubameyang’s move to Marseille came after a challenging stint at Chelsea, where he managed just three goals in 21 appearances following his transfer from Barcelona. His impressive performance in Ligue 1 has now earned him a place in Saudi Arabia’s top flight.
Aubameyang is the latest high-profile player to join the Saudi Pro League, which has recently attracted stars like Brazil forward Neymar and Ballon d’Or winners Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo. He also joins former Real Madrid defender Nacho, who signed with Al Qadsiah earlier this summer.
Al Qadsiah earned promotion to the Saudi Pro League by finishing at the top of the Saudi First Division League last season. The addition of Aubameyang is expected to bolster their attacking options as they compete at the highest level of Saudi football.
Aubameyang’s career highlights include winning the Premier League golden boot in the 2018-19 season and scoring two goals in Arsenal’s FA Cup final victory over Chelsea in 2020. As the former Arsenal captain embarks on this new chapter in his career, Al Qadsiah fans will be eagerly anticipating the impact he will bring to their team.
