"He's proved over the last few years that he is a very good player," Riedle told website Goal.
"Arsenal have the high-class individuals who will help him to score. So I am sure that he will do well in London.
"It makes an impression to the fans and the club if you make a debut like he did against Everton.
“But it is important to continue playing that way.
“When he came to Dortmund he had some problems at first but developed into a world-class player.
“I don’t think he is going to fail in England."
Aubameyang was a prolific striker in Germany, scoring 141 goals in 213 appearances for Dortmund.
