Arsenal transfer news: Borussia Dortmund star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang fuels speculation of a move away by wearing Ousmane Dembele shirt during five-a-side match
The 28-year-old enjoyed a kickabout with friend while Peter Stoger's men drew 1-1 with Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga
PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG fuelled speculation of a move away from Borussia Dortmund by donning an Ousmane Dembele jersey during a five-a-side match.
The 28-year-old was left out of the squad that drew 1-1 to Hertha Berlin on Friday, as he continues to be linked with a £53million move to Arsenal.
And instead of watching his team-mates in action, he chose to have a kickabout with friends.
But he could incur the wrath from Dortmund fans after wearing a Dembele top - who forced his way out of Signal Iduna Park last summer to sign for Barcelona.
German newspaper published photos of the Gabonese striker in action, who has reportedly agreed personal terms with the Gunners.
And even though it could be attempt for the ex-Saint-Etienne forward to secure a move away, Dortmund boss Peter Stoger insists his latest act of defiance doesn't worry him.
He said: "Well generally it doesn't bother me at all if Aubameyang right now is kicking it around somewhere else.
"That's his decision. If he had been good in training, he would have played [on Friday].

"But I didn't have that impression of him in the last training session before the match. I felt like he was busy with many things but not this important match. That's why he wasn't with us.
"If he kicks a ball all week and there are pictures of him, and he does it well, then he'll be back in the squad against Freiburg."
