Back at Olympique de Marseille after a stint in Saudi Arabia, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was quickly impressed by the dazzling talent of his teammate Mason Greenwood. The English winger, often nicknamed ‘star-boy’ by Aubameyang, shone in his first season at OM by scoring 22 goals in 36 matches across all competitions, revealing an offensive potential that already captivates his peers.
Greenwood’s spectacular summer preparation, marked by several consecutive goals, has strengthened this positive momentum and excited Aubameyang. Their on-field connections were evident during the last friendly match against Aston Villa, where they combined their skills to score all three Marseille goals, promising a season full of hope for Marseille in all competitions.
Aubameyang has praised Mason Greenwood in the media, recounting an admiring conversation held in Saudi Arabia with a former teammate of the young Englishman who describes him as a phenomenon. This new and fruitful partnership between two attackers of experience and youth offers OM a renewed offensive strength, which could become a major asset against the competition in Ligue 1.
As the 2025-2026 season is about to begin, enthusiasm is tangible within the Phocaean club. Aubameyang has already regained his goal-scoring instinct, and paired with Greenwood, Olympique de Marseille confirms its ambition to compete for top positions. The derby against Rennes, the first major event of the season, will be experienced as a foundational test for this new Marseille era, supported by forwards in full light.
