Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang says he is happy in Germany and will not be leaving the club for Arsenal or Barcelona.

The Gabon international and African Footballer of the Year has scored 18 goals in 17 league games this season.

Speaking to Sport 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."

 Aubameyang has a contract at Dortmund until 2020 and is yet to win any significant silverware since his move from Saint-Etienne in 2013.

It had been reported that Arsenal were willing to pay a sizeable transfer fee to sign the striker, but such a move now appears unlikely.
