Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is having a wonderful start with his 2026/2027 LaLiga season for Deportivo
The 37-year-old striker has already featured in four games, and Aubameyang has secured 6 G/A, with 4 goals and two assists. After also scoring the winner against Villarreal, Aubameyang looked like he was still in his twenties.
So, let’s talk about how Aubameyang is still performing at such a high level in his late 30s.
The Gabonese has played some of the highest-level football of his career during his prime years, representing clubs like Dortmund, Arsenal and FC Barcelona. Now, he is back in La Liga with a transforming Deportivo La Coruña side, and he is performing like he always has.
Last season Aubameyang showed that age is just a number. The striker ended the 2025/26 campaign with 14 goals and 10 assists in 41 appearances across all competitions for Marseille, taking his total G/A to 24. He was also impressive in the Champions League, bagging three goals and four assists. Aubameyang, at 36 years of age was still operating at the highest level, setting the tone for what has been an incredible start to his career at Deportivo.
Why Deportivo Could Be the Perfect Fit for Aubameyang
Deportivo could be the perfect fit for Aubameyang at this stage of his career. His pace, movement, and goalscoring experience give the La Liga side a proven attacking threat, while his experience at the highest level could make a big difference for Deportivo.
Deportivo are in the middle of an exciting transition period as they get used to playing in La Liga again. They are mixing up young players with more experienced heads, and it seems that Aubameyang has become a big part of the project. His goals and power, combined with his pace and experience, could provide Deportivo with the necessary spark to compete at the top level and give the fans a new attacking option.
