Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang must maintain his output in front of goal for a longer period before he can earn a place in the Premier League's hall of fame, according to Ray Parlour.
“I think you’ve got to look a bit more at longevity,” the ex-Arsenal midfielder told talkSPORT. “[Sergio] Aguero, [Thierry] Henry, Alan Shearer, Robbie Fowler, all these sorts of guys did it year-in, year-out.
“You can’t argue with his [Aubameyang’s] record, and if he hadn’t scored the goals he’s scored this season Arsenal could be very much more in a relegation battle than trying to get in that top five.
“He’s been such an important player for Arsenal going forward with the goals he scores; he’s very clinical once he’s in position.
“He looked very similar to Henry at the weekend. Once he’s through one-on-one that’s all he needs.
“Henry used to play just off the left-hand side as well, and the way he [Aubameyang] just opened his body out and bent the ball into the far corner was very similar to Henry.
“But whether you can call him a Premier League great yet, I’m not sure about that.”
