Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has slammed the English media as he cleared the air on speculations linking him with a move away from Arsenal.

The Arsenal captain who is currently in the middle of transfer speculations this January pulled out of contract talks in November, 2019.

Aubameyang has now committed his future to Arsenal which he disclosed after his side defeated Manchester United on Wednesday.

He told RMC sport:

"The English media likes to talk a lot.

“Right now, I’m here. I’m 100% here,” he said.

Before the game against Manchester United, which was Arsenal's first game of the decade, Aubameyang reflected on the past.

"It's the first game of 2020 and for me personally, my career has developed a lot over the last 10 years to where I am today, at this great football club.

"Someone reminded me of my first game of the decade which was when I was on loan at Lille from AC Milan. I came on late in a game against Rennes and scored the winner in a 3-1 victory.

"Eden Hazard, Gervinho, Yohan Cabaye and Mathieu Debuchy were all in that Lille side."
