'Marseille got caught in the memory of a player': Tony Cascarino baffled by Aubameyang's Ligue 1 move

Speaking on talkSPORT radio, Tony Cascarino said: "It is a strange one, three year deal. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is 34 years old, takes him to 37. Honestly, I have not seen the player that shone for Arsenal when he signed just before he got his massive contract, he was a fabulous talent.

"Marseille have got caught in the memory of a player that was once brilliant. He has never felt to me, especially in the last 18 months or two years, that he has that hunger in his belly. Watching him for Chelsea, he has been anonymous in games. He wasn't getting picked and he may have been unfit.

"But when he was asked to make an impact, he was on the fringe. Will it reignite him, going to Marseille? It is a huge football club, great support, amazing place to play football, they adore you there. Dimitri Payet reignited his career, Alexis Sanchez as well. I am not sure Aubameyang can do that."

Aubameyang has left Chelsea with a year left on his Stamford Bridge contract, signing a surprising three-year deal with Ligue 1 side Marseille.

The 34-year-old striker has scored just one goal in 15 Premier League for the Blues last season and his exit was only a matter of time.
