Aubameyang was about to be transferred to Tottenham Hotspur

Former Bundesliga star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal FC) said he was about to be transferred to Gunners arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur at the beginning of his career. The deal failed, however, because the Spurs simply no longer contacted the striker.

Aubameyang described with Sky Sportshow it went back then. When asked whether he would rather end his career or sign with Tottenham, the Gabonese replied: “You don’t need to ask me that, you already know that: I would quit. Even more than anyway, because I briefly a few years ago was before signing with Tottenham. But I have no idea what was going on there. “

He continued: “It was when I was still playing for Satin-Etienne or during my early days in Dortmund. I don’t know the exact time anymore. Anyway, I went there, looked at the stadium and White Hart Lane. From there Suddenly nobody called me anymore. Nobody called me again. “

He said at the time that he didn’t want to worry too much about it. But that is the reason why he always feels additional motivation in Arsenal’s north London derbies against the unloved neighbor.

Aubameyang stormed for AS Saint-Etienne between 2011 and 2013 before moving to BVB for 13 million euros. There followed four and a half strong years before it went to Arsenal for just under 64 million euros. The 32-year-old is now the captain there.
