Aubameyang's dig at Tottenham edges him closer to Arsenal
The Dortmund striker looks set for a big-money move to the Emirates Stadium, and he already possesses a vital quality to be an Arsenal legend: he hates Tottenham.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has hit 141 goals in 212 appearances for the German club, but in his first season in the Bundesliga he revealed that Spurs had come close to signing the 28-year-old.
"Tottenham tried to sign me in June 2012," Aubameyang said. "But in the end everything became a bit weird. I didn't really like the way things were done."
His words in 2013 showed that he was still resentful over the potential move to north London and he had never really forgiven Tottenham: "If Spurs ever came back in for me, I'd say no," he said, to the delight of Gunners fans.
