Peter Stoger has admitted that the Gabon international refused to attend team meetings during his final weeks at the club
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang missed team meetings and refused to run during training as he sought to force through his £56 million ($73.5m) move from Borussia Dortmund to Arsenal, according to the Bundesliga side’s former coach.
Peter Stoger took over at Dortmund in December 2017 following the sacking of Peter Bosz, by which time Aubameyang was being heavily linked with a move away from the club during the January transfer window.
The Gabon international has made a promising start to life in north London, recording 19 goals in 26 appearances as the club had made its transition to life under Unai Emery, but Stoger says he was always fighting a losing battle to keep Aubameyang in Germany.
