Your support makes all the difference.Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has denied speculation he is set to join either Arsenal or Barcelona.
The Gabonese international has made a name for himself in the Bundesliga, scoring 18 goals in 17 appearances, and was recently announced as African Footballer of the Year.
Aubameyang has populated the gossip columns with almost daily regularity but says there is no truth in the suggestion he is destined for a big-money transfer.
Speaking to BILD, the 26-year-old said: “I still want to achieve lots with Dortmund.
“I am here and nowhere else - not at Arsenal, not at Barcelona, not on the moon - you can see that.”
Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel was forced to speak publically about the speculation recently, denying the club had the intention to cash in on their latest star.
“We have not considered Aubameyang's departure for a single second,” the coach told Dortmund's official website.
“He is a pillar for us and we have big plans for him. There is no debate on him at all.”
