It appears that the rumors of Benteke becoming Liverpool's number one transfer target have passed, or at least put on hold for the time being. In the last week new rumors have emerged of Liverpool striker transfers. It appears as if Danny Ings is becoming closer to a move to Liverpool now that Burnley have been relegated.
The other most interesting rumor concerns Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with a move to Anfield. This is a post to assess if Aubameyang would be a good signing for Liverpool, and if it is a plausible deal. The 25, soon 26 year old Gabonese striker has enjoyed a pretty successful second campaign in Germany, scoring 22 goals in all competitions. He has scored more than all of Liverpool's strikers combined this season and so would definitely bring much needed goals to the team.
Aubameyang is most known for his speed which is considerable. Speed and high pressing is a must for playing in Rodgers' system and Aubameyang certainly can fulfill those requirements. He is deadly on the break with great vision and finishing which is something Liverpool have lacked in a striker this season. In watching him he shows similar style to how Suarez plays, with creativity, speed and improvisation.
I have read reports saying that Aubameyang is a Klopp kind of player...which means if Klopp ends up becoming Liverpool's new manager then this deal becomes much more likely to happen. The fact that Aubameyang is being linked with Liverpool might be implying that Liverpool are trying to bring Dortmund players in because they are going to bring Klopp in too. This is unlikely and to be honest a deal for Aubemeyang seems far off, but still possible.
