African player of the year 2015: Aubameyang Rejects Arsenal Transfer

2015 African football of the year Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has rejected the chance of signing for Arsenal. 

 Speaking at the conclusion of the Glo-CAF awards held on Thursday, January 7, Aubameyang made it known that he has no intention of singing for the Gunners.

Arsenal have reportedly bid £44.6 million for the Gabon international following his sensational scoring record of 24 goals in 23 games this season.

He told reporters: “I don’t want to go to Arsenal. I won’t leave Dortmund soon.”
Aubameyang expressed joy at winning the trophy after beating off competition from Manchester City’s Yaya Toure and Swansea City’s Andre Ayew.

He said: “When you’re next to players like Yaya Toure and Andre Ayew, you are proud to win this trophy in front of them because they are great players that I admire a lot.”

On his chances of winning the trophy next year, he said: “I will have to work, I will have to work a lot. But I have the qualities to be there again next year. But it is hard work and sacrifice too.”

Aubameyang was named African player of the year ahead of Yaya Toure and Andre Ayew who came in at second and third place respectively.
