Man City Transfers: 5 Strikers Manuel Pellegrini Could Sign Now Falcao Is Unavailable

3. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Aubenyang The Saint-‰tienne forward has only recently made a name for himself on the world stage having been flogged off on loan three times by AC Milan between 2008 and 2011, but he has finally settled down and is now one of the more accomplished strikers in Europe. He has scored 19 times this season for the Ligue 1 outfit and has emerged as a possible transfer target for Arsenal, though his agent has remarked that City allegedly "watch him constantly". The Frenchman finished just behind Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the Ligue 1 scoring charts this season and as such will be one of the hottest properties on the summer transfer market, with German as well as English clubs vying for his signature. A fee of around £13 million could be enough to tempt Saint-Etienne into parting with Aubameyang, according to his agent, which is a relative bargain when compared to the £50 million it would have taken to land Falcao.
