Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has joined Saudi Pro League side Al Qadsiah on a two-year deal.

The former Arsenal and Chelsea striker has left Marseille to sign for the newly-promoted outfit after just one season in Ligue 1.

Aubameyang, 35, found form after leaving the Blues for France, scoring 31 goals in 51 games during his only campaign.

He follows former Real Madrid defender Nacho in moving to Al Qadsiah, who finished top of the Saudi First Division last term.


Aubameyang is the latest high-profile to move to the Middle East, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema among the stars currently operating in the Saudi Pro League.

The Gabon forward scored 93 goals in 163 appearances for the Gunners between 2018 and 2022 before a more ill-fated spell with Chelsea, which saw him play just 21 times and score three goals.

He has also represented AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona and won four major trophies, including the FA Cup with Arsenal in 2020.

Al-Qadsiah were previously managed by former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler but he lasted just four months in the role before being sacked.

Fowler was replaced by former Marseille boss Michel Gonzalez, who led them to promotion in May 2024.
