Monaco Buys Leicester City Striker for Summer Transfer Window to Alleviate Forward Pressure
Updated:2025-11-30 08:32 Views:180Leicester City have announced the signing of Monaco striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on a three-year contract. The move is expected to alleviate the forward pressure at the club and bring in much-needed firepower.
Aubameyang, who was born in Nigeria but has spent most of his career with Monaco, joins Leicester City from the French club after spending time with Arsenal and Inter Milan. He has scored 24 goals in 18 appearances for Monaco this season and is considered one of the top strikers in Europe.
The signing of Aubameyang will be a major boost for Leicester City's attacking line, which has struggled to score consistently over the past few seasons. With Aubameyang's addition, the team should be able to create more scoring opportunities and put more pressure on their opponents.
Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri said: "We are very happy to welcome Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to our squad. He is a player of great quality and we are confident that he will contribute greatly to the team's success."
Aubameyang himself expressed his excitement about joining Leicester City: "I am thrilled to join Leicester City and I am looking forward to contributing to the team's success. I am confident that we can work together to achieve great things this season."
The transfer fee for Aubameyang is not yet known, but it is likely to be in the region of £60 million or more. This makes it one of the biggest transfers in English football history.
Overall, the signing of Aubameyang represents a significant step forward for Leicester City and could help them challenge for the Premier League title next season.
