Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, a striker for Barcelona, was assaulted on Monday morning during a brutal heist at his house in Barcelona.

A group of four guys allegedly entered Aubameyagn's garden and threatened him with weapons and iron bars, according to the Spanish newspaper El Pais.

The men battered and threatened Aubameyang in front of his wife, Alysha Behague, and were able to break into the player's home's safe and steal a number of priceless gems.

The thieves allegedly escaped in a white Audi A3, according to many witnesses.

Aubameyang moved to Barcelona in February after leaving Arsenal for the Catalan club on a free transfer.

The Chelsea and the Gabonese attacker have discussed the latter joining Thomas Tuchel's team this summer.

Barcelona has not yet responded to the situation.
