OM: "Aubameyang, he's a pure person," says Pierre-Émile Højbjerg

On Saturday, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang struck twice in his first start since returning to OM. Pierre-Émile Højbjerg is still in disbelief.

Starting for the first time since his comeback at Olympique de Marseille, Aubameyang celebrated with a brace and an assist against Paris FC (5-2) at the Vélodrome. A performance that won over Pierre-Émile Højbjerg, who is clearly captivated by the Gabon international.

"Aubameyang, you know, he's a pure person. A genuinely kind guy with a big heart. He's achieved everything in his career. But still, when he arrives here, he puts himself on the same level as everyone else and gets the job done. Honestly, he's a true leader," Højbjerg said in the mixed zone.
