Gabon president encourages Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Chelsea striker’s return

Posted : 18 May 2023
A year after declaring his retirement from international competition, Chelsea forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will rejoin the Gabon team.
 
In May 2022, the 33-year-old retired as his nation's all-time leading scorer with 28 goals in 68 games.
 
The striker said that a meeting with the president of the African nation, Ali Bongo Ondimba, was what spurred the comeback.
 
"I listened to the wise words he said to me as a father talking to his son," Aubameyang posted on Instagram.
 
Currently leading their qualification group for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations is Gabon, which is captained by former La Rochelle defender Patrice Neveu.
 
When they host the Democratic Republic of the Congo in June, they may clinch a spot in the tournament in Ivory Coast with one game left.
 
"A few days ago, I had the immense honour to be received by the President of the Republic (of Gabon) Ali Bongo Ondimba," Aubameyang's post added.
 
"Following this, I therefore put myself at the disposal of my country and of the coach Patrice Neveu."
 
The French-born attacker, who made his Gabon debut in 2009, has had a couple of trying club seasons recently, including losing his leadership at Arsenal in December 2021 and transferring to Barcelona the following transfer window.
 
He has recently been connected to a summer transfer return to the Nou Camp, where he began the 2022–2023 campaign.
