You’re such a clown, Aubameyang slams Dortmund CEO over claims he joined Arsenal for money
Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has taken to Twitter to hit back at claims by Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke that he only left Borussia Dortmund for money.
Watzke made the claim in an interview for a German newspaper.
The 30-year-old Gabonese striker moved to Arsenal from the German club for a fee of £56 million in January 2018.
“Better for you I never talk about why I really left Dortmund Mr Watzke. You are such a clown,” Aubameyang tweeted.
“I remember that time you said we never gonna sell Ousmane [Dembele], then you saw more than £100m, you were the first to take that money.
“Don’t talk about money please. Leave me alone please,” he added.
Watzke had been talking about the future of England player Jadon Sancho, who is in his third season at Dortmund, when he made this pointed reference about his club’s former player.

He told Suddeutsche Zeitung:
“Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who plays great at Arsenal, will probably be warm-hearted when he looks at his bank account, but on Wednesdays he will be saddened when he has to watch the Champions League on television.”
In his reply, Aubameyang referred to the departure of France forward Ousmane Dembele in the summer of 2017, who was sold from the German club to Barcelona for £135.5m.
