”Thomas has been great since joining the club,” Aubameyang said.

”My family is from Gabon but I also have some roots in Ghana where Thomas is from so we are family too!
”It is good for some of our younger players to have a player of his calibre at training. They will learn a lot from him.”
”He is so strong physically but yet so good on the ball as well,” he said.
