Former Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has labeled Aston Villa centre-back Tyrone Mings as one of the toughest opponents he has faced.

Aubameyang has gotten off to a great start at his new club Barcelona, scoring a hat-trick in an away win over Valencia in La Liga at the weekend.

The 32-year-old was asked about the great defenders he has faced during his time in Germany, England, and now Spain.

"Toughest opponent I've faced? Tyrone Mings," the ex-Arsenal striker said, per Mundo Deportivo.

Mings was outstanding in one particular game against Aubameyang, a Premier League clash during Project Restart that Villa won 1-0.
