Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang laughs off Arsenal fan's cheeky transfer request


It's official: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will NOT be joining Arsenal . That's hardly an exclusive, of course. The Gabon striker confirmed as much last week after winning the African Player of the Year Award . Having reiterated his commitment to Borussia Dortmund , he might have thought he'd finally put talk of a January transfer to bed.
He's had no such luck, however.
As you can see above, a rogue Arsenal fan has decided to have one last go at convincing Aubameyang to join Arsene Wenger's side. While transfer negotiations are usually complicated affairs replete with secret approaches, behind-the-scenes wrangling, legal contracts and personal terms, this lad has cut out all that nonsense and simply asked Pierre directly: "Are you coming to Arsenal?!"
The answer? "No". *awkward laughter*
Considering that transfers are very, very rarely concluded by a teenager asking a professional footballer to join his favourite club ("Oh, okay then!"), we're not sure what response the kid was expecting here.
