Aubaemyang explains Marseille choice: The fans and the Velodrome!

Former Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is delighted with his move to Olympique Marseille.

Aubameyang has penned a deal to 2026 with OM.

He said: "Why OM? Because it is simply Marseille. I had to find a stadium that vibrates. The club's project is super interesting. We have seen it in recent seasons, OM is doing better and better.

"It is the ideal continuation for my career. I came to work and show who I am."

On the Velodrome, Aubameyang added: "I haven't been back since the stadium was incomplete. I returned with Dortmund but the stadium was still under renovation, so there was only a part to the public. I've never seen it finished. I won't hide from you that I've watched some small videos on Youtube, it's creepy!"
